I'd just use 3M double-sided automotive tape, that stuff if left to dry properly is amazingly strong... --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Double sided tape, just heat it a lil with a hair dryer/heat gun, before you stick it on.
Or some super glue. |

I wouldn't use super glue, I had that stuff damage some paint once  And later on if you wish to go badgeless, then the super glue may pose a problem to remove without damaging paint.... The best bet is automotive double sided tape. Follow the instructions on the packet (The hair dryer suggestion is great, I actually forgot about that lol)... And also don't let the badges get wet for the time the packet says, otherwise they may fall off. Make sure that it is automotive tape though, some of the other types are absolute rubbish... -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

Yeah, glue is more of a permanent fix. But if someone likes your badges they come off in seconds with a tiny screw driver no matter what. Double sided seems like a better idea indeed.

Just remember that you may HAVE to, so tape is the better option... I always plan for the worst, and in this scenario, having to take them off again could possibly happen... Also, the tape is as good as the glue for holding them... As The-enD has said, if someone wants to steal your badge no matter what they will get it, even with super glue... The glue will just cause a lot more damage then if it was tape... -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
