if i debadge the rear end, how easy is it to refix the badges, and what should i use, (only reason would be for a resale, or if i decide for a change)

The adhesive is usually a bit dodgy on second application - so you would need to buy new badges, rather than try to restick the old ones - the only thing that would stop adhesion would be waxes/grease/crap on the paint, so clean first with a prep solution to remove this.

ah k, so there is no adhesive stuff you could use to reuse the originals?
is there anywhere (online) that sells new ones?

I want to put a "V6" badge on the car where the side indicators are. So I would also like to know where to buy these badges.

Most dealerships/car servicing places can get them for a couple of dollars each max..

The other issue is busting them while taking them off.. and losing them after they are off :)
The 'mitsubishi' badge has a couple of thin spots so you would have to be real careful not to break them
