I just used epoxy on the couple that were coming lose on mine. That was shortly before I got it painted, which was a couple months ago, and it's held up really well so far! If you need more info, PM me; I don't know the specifics on what I used.

Trim

You can pick up double sided tape designed for this purpose in the paint section of any auto parts store.

+1 for the double sided tape. The emblem adhesive or epoxy works also but can make for a big headache if you ever want to take them off for paint work.

I had my s4 trim painted, so it was a non-issue for me. I suppose, though, if you're planning on having the car painted that it might not be the best idea to use epoxy, like I did.

Exactly. If used according to the instructions and allowed to cure for a day or so before subjected to any stress, this stuff is permanent.

Double sided tape ftw. Get 3M though. Don't cheap out on adhesives.
