I havent done it (I don't even own a Camaro), but from what I have seen, most attch it to the back of the hole instead of it being in the hole.

Here are some old threads I dug up:

I know there was a write-up somewhere, but I can't find it. While searching, there was someone in one of the threads that said he bent the sides of the mesh and pushed it into the foam behind the grill. I dont know how well that will hold up over time though.

I was thinking more along the lines of epoxy, but I wasnt sure and wanted to let someone who actually did it chime in.
