Another question...
Is it better to use the protrusions/studs on the badges to mount them, or remove them, and use double sided tape?
Here's some info from a 2003 post:

That way, we avoided drilling holes through our fresh paint. We also avoided problems with the posts being in the wrong place. Once we started that, the lack of headaches was refreshing.
We had no problems with emblems staying in place. The same cannot be said for our experiences with mounting posts.

....but I wouldn't mind other opinions while I consider what to do.
