That GMC logo is one of the tailgate logos applied to a bolt-over billet grille.

Just guessing, but I would imagine that the guy bought a plain Billet grill with no cutout for an emblem, then bought a free standing emblem and attached it in the corner via...a.) studs, b) epoxy

I had Carriage works billet grill on my Silverado for 5 years and it looked just as good at the end of 5 years as it did when it was first installed. They make a good product.

I really like the look of the GMC grill with all of that open billet space. Does anyone know if there is a conversion to put a large billet grille like that into a NBS Silverado?

In a previous lift, I attached a Toyota logo to a grill with a nut, bolt, a couple washers, and some epoxy. Basically, epoxy the bolt head to the back of the emblem and let it set. Then stick the emblem bolt with a washer through the grill, tighten it on the other side with the nut and washer... easy peasy... works like a charm.

Or you could buy some 3m emblem tape

Sorry Reneck56 for the late reply..I was MIA for awhile.

As suggested here you can use epoxy and bolts, 3m emblem tape or do what I did.

Because my grill is SS and the tubes are round, I have very little surface area to glue anything to. I tried the 3m tape and either the emblem fell off or someone jacked it from my truck. So, here is what I did and as you see, 80k miles later it is still on there.

I took two large black surface zip ties (the industrial type ties, about 1/2 wide, get them at home depot) and anchored those to the emblem with a dab of gorilla glue and a very small screw as not to tap to far into the emblem.

I let that sit over night then just attached them to the grill with heavy duty tape between the zip tie and tube to keep it from moving/sliding.

From the front you cannot see any of this. A little janky I'll admit, but I had to improvise!
