Default Wheel Emblem Replacement

I recently received a replacement wheel emblem from CF member B. Taylor (thanks again B!). Question is, what is the best way to attach it to the center cap. It has been suggested to use JB Weld. Is there a better or another way to do this? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. :confused:

I would agree with the 2-part epoxy suggestion. I don't know if JB weld is the best choice. I can't remember what the emblem is made of. But it seems that the two part epoxies that AdvanceAuto parts sells, the stuff made for plastic, etc, would be better (the blue and clear tubes).

Clear silicone works great. Just be sure to let it dry before driving the car.
