Default what should I use to attach my new ws6 emblem to bumper?

Like the title says, just bought a new ws6 emblem to replace the one that was stolen from me, but i bought it from a board member that had a wrecked T/A, and i didn't come with adhesive. What should I use to attach it again to my bumper?

the 3M tape should work, but 3M also makes a clear "plastic & emblem adhesive" that comes in a tube...available at O'Reilly I know for sure...

Stay away from the tube, use 3M double side tape, buy the one that is gray with the red covering, works like a charm, once you set it, it stay there in place!

word up trevor!

i would think some heavy duty 3M tape would work, i'm sure the fellas at O'Reillys will have something. Any luck finding that touch up paint for the CETA bumper??

that sounds like it might have been the OEM adhesive that usually comes with the emblem, there is still some of that on the back of this emblem but its not sticky anymore at all.
