I used 3M glue that is made specifically for car emblems. Be careful with it tho, a little bit goes a long way! i used a toothpick to apply it to the back of the emblems. I've been through car washes and used the pressure washers at self service car washes and theyve held on for 9 months and counting Pick it up anywhere, wal-mart, o'reilys, autozone, etc., its fairly cheap.

well before i took mine off i put painters tape around the border of the emblems so that way you can line them up easily when you put them back on. so now u want to put them on. get emblem or trim molding double sided stick tape from pepboys n apply small pieces to the emblems. cut the excess pieces off. peel the plastic off the tape. stick back onto the car using the tape lines u put on before u peeled them off to align the emblems properly.

do NOT use the 3M glue, seriously. Many people had troubles with it eating through the paint. Supposedly it had to do with expired glue, etc, but don't risk it because if eats thru the paint you'll be one unhappy guy.
Also, before you remove the emblems, outline them with blue painters tape so you have the position of the emblems correct for re-installation.
