Debadging and rebadging

Long story very short, I got into an accident to the rear right quarter of my car last month.

Sent it in to repair, I come back and my cars been debadged and rebadged to a lower position (the ACURA and the TL TYPE-S) both shifted down. It might have been due to the fact that they replaced the trunk lid and bought new badges and placed them on incorrectly. So, how do I REBADGE a car?

I believe through the DIY threads I can debadge it, but how can I rebadge it in the right position?

Take it back and make them do it right.

Autozone.

3M two sided trim tape. Its 3/4" x 1/16th" thick with a red peel off cover.

I rebadged my 07 ASM Type-S before I tradded it in.

Or take it back like another said.

you're supposed to use emblem adhesive, not double sided tape...

That's nice work you've done. Personally I'd probably end up leaving the ACURA off and putting the other two back on their original spots, I'm OCD like that .

What's the difference between 3M tape and emblem glue/whatever?

What's wrong with using double sided tape for the emblems?
