Relocating emblems...

I plan on debadging & relocating some emblems. What should I purchase to do this? Tape? Glue?

I'm afraid if I use tape, it'll be too thick..

Thanks

3m tape should do the trick.

Looks good, but reminds me of the CSX.
That's the exact same place the CSX badge goes stock.

i've heard of this method:

1) heat the badges with a blow dryer until adhesive is melted enough to wiggle the badges right off.
2) use dental floss to wiggle it off
3) goo-gone the remaining adhesive (or use peanut buttah)

You want a special automotive dbl sided tape by 3m. It is dark gray, less thick, but extra sticky. I only know of stores that carry auto paint and such around my area that have this.
