Emblems fallin off

Ok, I was at the car wash, cleaning my entirely-stock-since-i'm-poor-TL, and one of my emblems decided it didn't like the Acrua-stock glue. I used a superglue to put it back on, but was wondering if any of you had problems with this too. I have to get goo-off too cause some of the glue touched paint outside the emblem. I just love my car when it's clean though. Someday when I get a real job I'll go out and get inspires and all the lights (I really love the stock rims though, won't change those ever).

Also, I just love how there are only 100 TLs in St. Louis (so it seems) and I've only seen three black ones in a year. The TL is def. a head turner around here.

I thing the symbol is drilled in. The ACRURA fell off and the 2.5TL is probably next.

Next time it falls off, you're better to use Silicone or buy some GOOD double sided tape (if you're lucky enough to be in good contact with your local body shop, they should be able to give you some). I would NEVER put super glue on my paint...

It wasn't really super glue, it was bonding adhesive...some kind of pricier rubber cement. Actually when it dried, i was able to rub off the excess. The previous owner had some scratches on the trunk too so I am thinking about repainting that area anyway. Call me a sucker, but I like to keep my things looking like how it was bought from the store. I like hidden upgrades, better speakers, etc, but nothing flashy.
