^ What he said, double sided tape is all you need. Make sure you get the industrial type though. I think 3M makes it.

you could consider just leaving it as "TL", that doesn't look bad. or debadge the TL as well to make the car look cleaner, because you got half done already !

yeah sooooo, you just have to take off the rest of the lettering and leave just the "A" symbol and you're done (IMO gold looks anyway)

Oh baby! Take it off!!

Take it all off, dude! Get out some floss and get the rest of those badges off! Since this is during post-holiday season, you might have a lot of wrapping ribbon lying around use that instead of the floss!

Use goo-gone or other similar cleaner to remove sticky residue. Try the de-badged look, you might like it!

I had previously had gold lettering on my car, after debadging I also switched the "A" emblem on the trunk to the larger 02-03 one. Looks pretty good in my opinion.
