3M makes an emblem tape that I hear works great, but make sure both surfaces are clean. You can usually find it at any paint supply store or even at Wal-Mart.

 

I used epoxy. It is stroger than super glue, and doesnt' crack. It is clear. It comes in two tubes. You can get that at Wal-Mart, or practically any store. An idea is to talk to the guys behind the counter at a car parts store or dealer, They help me out all the time.

3M makes double-backed tape specifically for moldings and badges, and they also make a plastic emblem adhesive. I like the double backed tape because if you ever need to get it off, you can. The plastic emblem adhesive eats the paint, and epoxy usually sticks so good that you ruin something trying to remove it later on.

Sweet85Bird, excatly what emblems are you referring at? as far as I know there aren't any from the factory... or did you mean those 'firebird' badges on the fenders. are they badges or just plain stickers?
Thanks.

I am talking about the "firebird" badge on the fender.It is plastic,(I guess.)

I found that 3M tape at Strauss Auto, and used it to attach that same Firebird fender badge you're talking about. Make sure to "trim" the tape so you can't see it past the logo's letters.
