Putting rear emblems back on
Hello. This is my first post and I need some help. I'm not panicking but I'm trying to put the emblems back on the rear of my 08 is250. I've gotten all the gunk off from the original emblems and I went to autozone to get the 3m emblem adhesive but it's so messy and doesn't work well. I'm worried about using the tape because I don't want any gaps from the edges of the emblem to the paint. Can anyone help me out
Or clarify that the tape won't leave any gaps. Pictures would be awesome!

Like when I put the glue on and press it onto the car the glue runs out over the edges and just makes a heck of a mess but I don't want to use tape cause I'm afraid it will leave gaps.

I used the double sided tape that is used for cellphones to hold the screen in place, held on perfect until I got rid of my car. Here is a link to something similar to what I had http://www.ebay.com/itm/331025073107?redirect=mobile

The only way to do this right is to buy 3m tape and prep the surface with alcohol. Then you cut the excess 3m off with an x-acto knife leaving a couple mm from the sides of the emblem. It is incredibly tedious and time consuming but the only way to have it look right.
If you skimp on the tape cutting you'll be able to see gaps when you look down at the emblems.
