For those who are interested in removing the front emblem and keep the look of the factory grille, this mod is for you. It's easy and very inexpensive.

Tools:
hand saw
sand paper
epoxy



Step 1: Have a fellow Titan owner give you their grille scraps from their grille mod. Only the outer grilles scraps are needed for this mod.

Step 2: Cut out emblem from your grille.

Step 3: Cut out the usable portion from the scrap pieces. I split it into 3 pieces.

Step 4: Attach the 3 pieces to your grille using a sandable and paintable epoxy.

Step 5: Spray the grille flat black.


End result.

Damn, nice job. Doesn't even look like you epoxied any of those pieces on. Looks like it came that way :)

It came out really neat. Good documentation!

By the way grille inserts looked like it was OEM. Job well done.
