Default So What Do I Use To Mount My Emblems?

So I searched and didn't really come up with anything within the first few pages. I mounting a couple of old school Z/28 emblems and a couple of "Camaro" emblems on the side. I'll also be needing a way to mount one on my billet grille. I'll need to cut the spokes off on the backside of them as well but really need help on what will work well mounting wise. So what do you guys use... some sticky adhesive or glue or what?

Go to a local body shop and ask them for there double sided tape. I think tht the 3M doube sided sticky tape will also work.

is the tape visible or is the tape really thin where it lays flush? please don't think I'm a moron either, I just want it to look professional and not tacky

You have to trim the 3m double sided tape to fit the emblem with an Xacto-knife or Razor.

Just cover the whole emblem up with tape strips and then trim off the excess, don't leave any too close to the edge or it will be visible.

Well tape would work for sure but i use clear silicon adhesive glue. I think those old school emblems are quite heavy.
