They're just sheet metal nuts. Take care when tightening them - if you over-tighten them (easy to do), they'll 'strip' and you won't get them, or the badge, tight.

A 10mm nutdriver works well here because it's easier to tighten them w/o stripping. If using a socket and extension, don't use the ratchet handle, just turn the extension between your fingers - you'll have a much better feel for when they snug up.
