3m adhesive tape. You can find it pretty much anywhere. Home Depot, Autozone, etc...
You will know when you find it b/c it should be a red roll of tape w/sticky gray stuff. *Description of the year!! HaHaHa!

I have used the 3M double sided tape as well and has held for years. Got mine at autozone.

Make sure to use 3M tape.

I you can't find it I can sell you a small amount precut to shape for you.
Please let me know.

Thanks, Roger

Not to hi-jack, but figured I'd continue this thread instead of starting another for a similar issue.

I pulled off my WS6 badge yesterday as it was barely holding on. Do you have pre-cut shape for it as well?

What can I use to restore some of the badges original luster? lol

We have our version of it which is very close to the same shape. The original pieces were chrome plated plastic I think, and and chrome polish should work on polishing them up.

thanks for all the responses guys, however I feel like the 3m tape would be too thick. These emblems are really thin and if i use 3m tape on just one of them i dont think it will sit flush and it would look off....any insight?

Our tape is less than 1/20th of an inch thick.

It does come in different thicknesses though.

I used 3m plastic emblem and decal adhesive to put my TRANS AM door letters back on. It comes in a black tube and seems to work really well for, emblems are flush against the car.
