In my case...

I took my Factory Pony to a Pully Belt Sander.. and sanded it on the back side to match the curve of my grill, then trimmed 3M Automotive Mounting Tape with a razerblade to attach it..

You guys have badges put on with tape or glue? That oughta last about 32 seconds. How about figuring out a way to solder some threads on the back, and drill holes, then use nuts to permanently attach them? OK, I am out of my territory here I guess.

Soaring...

I thought that too... However - I used the 3M tape.. made SURE the surfaces were CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN.

So far.. my car has gone through SEVERAL High Power Touchless Car Washes.. and has seen speeds to 125. and my little pony is still hanging in there!

Gloves... LOL.. I don't "Know" anything.... I'm just pretty creative, and have pretty much tried everything at least once!
