Both the 80 and 81 nose emblems, come with the double sided tape backing. They also have 2 short locating pins on the back of each.
The 77-79 side flags come with double sided tape, and 2 locating pins.
The 68-73 "Corvette" rear emblem, is not a single one piece emblem, but is actually 8 individual letters. Each letter has 2 pins on the back of them, one for a speed nut, and the other is a short locating pin. They are only available with the pins.
Neither the 80 or 81 gas door emblem comes with double sided tape for attaching them. 69-82 gas door emblems are attached with 1/4-20 acorn nuts (and 68's were riveted on).
The red 75-79 hood L-82 emblems have studs on the back, and are installed using speed nuts. The brushed chrome 1980 fender mounted L-82 emblems, do come with double sided tape for installing them.
Of course, if you want to use double sided tape, the pins and studs can be removed from any of the above emblems. I have to think that it would be a big pain, to cut and trim the tape use on the individual Corvette rear body letters.

pretty interesting to watch. The guy shows up with a handful of little templates that he had already prepared. He did the nose emblem, both fenders, rear, and some artwork on the L-88 hood sides in under 2 hrs.
