I took off just the ss and the bowtie and painted them. I just cut them off with a blade and then put them on a piece of tape to paint them. Putting them back on i just used normal auto body glue. Very easy to do and makes your car stand out against others on the road. What color is your car?

Take fishing wire, and get some 3m adhesive remover. Spray it on, use the wire like floss and slowly take it off. Mine came off with just the 3m stuff.

Put it back on with double sided tape. Im sure auto glue works fine but if you ever decide to debadge or sell the car, you wont be too happy when the badges don't come off easily.

Yea 3M Double Sided tape is usually the best. It only cost like 3 bucks for a decent sized roll

3m tape can hold anything. On my car it holds on my rear monte badge, a duck to the windshield, all my LEDs on, interior and exterior. And its holding my block together jk

As much as I love the Monte's, I hope I am not the only one who finds the "emblems are the same color as the car" element stupid?
