3M Tape i think, usually it comes on the back of the emblem, you just pull it off and stick it.

They key is using "outdoor" double sided tape. That tape holds a ton better. For my grille I cut out pieces of it and put it under the emblem. Then I put 2-3 drops of superglue on (very very small drops - im not even sure of that did anything). I haven't had any problems for over a year. The one thing is ...make sure its strait and exactly where you want it. Mark it up so you do it right the first time. Back off the car 10-15feet and look how it looks. When you are happen then worry about mounting it for good. The last thing you want is a tilted off-centered emblem.

One thing I've found that works great for emblems is JB Weld. It's a two part epoxy that comes in a small package. You should be able to pick it up at Home Depot or your local auto parts place. This is of course if you don't ever want the emblem removed ever again! I'd definitely keep with 3M tape if your emblem is going to be temporary. JB Weld is nice though because you can apply it, and then center your object accordingly before the epoxy completely sets up. Just don't use too much of it or it'll "squish" outside of the area of application. I used it for my back emblem and CF emblem insert. Those suckers are not going anywhere.
