? about emblems

I removed my chrome emblems to replace them with the black pearl emblems. I want to reuse the L from the back on the front grill. Does anyone know a way to put sticky on the back of the emblem so it will stay on the grill, and where to get that from? Oh, and the L isnt chrome anymore, I painted it.

You have to buy an adhesive glue. They sell it at any autoparts store.

Is that small enough to fit behind the emblem?

At first I thought the engine heat would soften up the glue....but it doesn't....there's enuff ventilation. The other stuff does not provide a good enuff adhesion.

Does that work even on the mesh grill that comes with the TRD grill? I had a stock emblem on there before and it wasnt on there very firmly

I did it for my TTE grill...which have larger openings in the mesh than the TRD grill. Mines is still stuck on there....2 months and counting.....no movement at all. I think this is the best solution instead of using epoxy or super glue....cuz if you decide to remove the emblem one day....just heat it up.

phml thanks for the help. That looks really good. I did buy some of the 3m adhesive tape so I will try that. If it doesnt work then I will try the hot glue
