3M double sided tape. Wipe surface clean, stick tape to backside of emblem, trim off excess tape, stick onto car, firmly press on it for a few seconds, enjoy.

i don't think he's talking about ordinary office double sided tape, the stuff you use to wrap presents.. 3M makes much stronger double sided adhesives, you just have to find the right one. i'm pretty sure new emblems from the dealer come with something very similar, if not exactly what he's talking about.

Or you could even leave the emblem off along with the "LX","EX", etc...wipe off the glue still on there with goo gone. Much cleaner look.

i still couldnt get everything off after i debaged mine and i used plenty of goo gone ... when the car is dirty you can see the outlines of the emblems.

Everyone says use goo gone, but I have found that using lighter fluid works a lot better. It's also good for removing the glue after you peall off pin stripping. Just be sure to clean really well with soap B4 you paint the area.
