    I suggest you post more detailed pictures of your grille so we can better evaluate your situation.

    OR - someone said maybe i could just use the brackets? Can't use screws because the grille is kinda like a plastic mesh....maybe like super strong epoxy?

    Attach the brackets with 3M molding tape (http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...glJWPTBFJBNZbl) and it will hold fine!

    Save alittle cash, and use the 3m double sided tape for now.
    Get it tested, then find a more "stable" mounting method. ( bracket from LI, home made, etc. )
    Price out your front grille on ebay, so you can have a back up if you ever sell your ride.
    I have to agree with everyone here, the green area is too low.

    As its been said. Nice choice in equipment.. bad choice in mounting. If a GSP/local shooting laser can easily get your speed because of bad mounting then whats the point of throwing down that much cash for the LI even if its a temporary spot. I dont know about you, but for me temporary tends to turn into permanent lol. I temporarily mounted my heads with some crap material but in a spot recommended for my car....Somehow today that temporary stuff has turned into a permanent one because with some test done it performed well. Id really recommend that you take the time and do it right because it would be your luck to have those LI's connected while signing a laser enforced ticket.

    Be careful.

    +1. Seems to hold the emblems (granted, they're much lighter than LI heads) on cars just fine as well.
