Default RC4WD metal emblem set

I have the metal emblem set for my FJ40 and was wondering about the best way to attach them to the body and grill. Any one out there have any thoughts and or ideas perhaps some tips and or things to avoid. I was wondering about two part epoxy vs CA glue. The grill may prove to be the trickiest ? Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Regards. Mike

Why not with some double sided tape?

I used CA for mine, they're all still in place. Where its possible I prefer a flexible glue like E6000 over brittle glues like CA. Flexibility helps take a hit and avoid popping loose but thats no really a great option given how complex these are.

Double sided tape would show through many of the emblems and make them stick out too far to look good.

(Oops! Posted same time as HumboldtEF.)

Epoxy or CA may not be impact resistant. Use (thin) double sided tape as suggested above or use contact cement. Something that gives when hit and doesn't debond.

Awesome ,thanks guys. I thought about the double sided tape however some of the emblems are so small in surface area that there would not be enough tape to give a good and proper hold without eventually coming off. Looks like flexible glue is the way to go.
