im glad people are using my link. i think the italic letters look exactly like the badge at the begining of this thread
all i did was remove the 3m tape on the back of each leter, and used some quick steel in very small quantities in key locations to get that floating look.

if anyone wants to "DIY" a GSR badge i found a website you can buy individual leters for $2.50. oem looking too, not like those gross autozone fat letters. they come in 5 fonts, but only chrome. i plan to just plastidip these to get the oem red look.

How would y'all recommend mounting these to the grille?

Well I ordered a G S R letters in Italics from the link Cadmonkey posted http://shop.emblemart.com/index.php?...a0h7eb2u95id92.
Painted the letters red, and made a bracket from a 3/4" by 3/8" piece of aluminum I had left over from another project. Drilled 2 holes threaded some screws, removed the heads and painted that black.
Then using the already applied sticky back I attached them to the plate.
And test fitted to the car. I still need to remove the bumper to do a small fix to the rusty area below the mitsubishi badge so this was just attached with double stick tape and then removed. (Needs to be placed a little better anyway)
Not perfect, but it works for me =).

I think this is the best way i have seen in this thread so far. if i would have seen it sooner i would have done it this way.
as for paint i cant remember the brand of paint but i know it was formulated spacificly for plastics
