Question Advice for mounting PCA badge

I am looking for advice on how to mount a PCA badge on the rear of a 996 Cab. The badge comes with straight mounting bolts, but these will not fit in the slats of the rear spoiler without causing damage/scratches.

I would like to mount this in the area of the picture shown. Any thoughts? I was thinking double sided tape, but the badge is a bit heavy.

Sorry if this is a noob thread. I have searched with no luck.

I know this isn't going to help but to me it's sort of like putting on one of those old horns on your new Lexus....

please don't.
if anything, stick it on your license plate (do you really only have a B for the plate?)

otherwise stick it on your dash or toolbox.

Decal on the rear side windows or better yet leave it in the glove box just like mine.

Nah, its my initials. I changed it in Paint.

I thought about it and i'm not going to put the badge on. It does "stick out like a zit" now that I think about it.

Thanks everyone

Good call,

Other than the "zit" it automatically screams out "Old-Man"......

You're blocking the intake by placing it there. As others have said, "stick" to the sticker.
