The only problem with gluing it with crazy glue is if you ever need to remove it to repaint or whatever reason you're pretty much SOL. Or its gonna take some work to pry it off...

maybe i'll just leave the emblem off all together damn it...

Have you ever thought of 3M spray adhesive? It uses the same adhesive as some of their tape lines. If the part is light enough, it would hold and be much easier to remove than crazy glue or epoxy.

No, it's the glue they use for your front windshield! haha It's super strong! I told my body shop to use that for my Lexon as well, cause I don't want anyone trying to rip mines off. And if they succeed, it'll be in pieces haha

Gorilla glue site says it's a polyurethane glue...

why don't you use double side film tape? Its thin as paper and strong too! Perfect for what you are looking to do.
