Default Replace back wing emblem with new style?

Does anyone know if the OEm winged badge on the back of our crossfire's is just attached with adhesive or does it actually mounted onto the back of the car with holes in the body?

Also, does anyone know if its flat or curved? I want to pull it off and replace it with the newer style emblem.

I'd say just adhesive ... with a slight curve

The wings are recessed into the body, front and rear. Unless you are up to a lot of custom bodywork, this mod is not for you.

I had the same exact thoughts as you and suffered the same disappointment upon closer look

my idea for a possible solution was a custom emblem for the middle oval that mimicked the new Chrysler font and took emphasis away from the oval itself

i did this a while back in MS Paint just messing around
