BEEMDUB Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 My tahoe came with no nameplates on it, so a member from the TYF forum sold me all three of his. He debadged his truck and took them off so they don't have adhesive on the back...Whats the best way to adhere the letters to the car, and most importantly adhere them to the car so they don't fuckin fall off randomly one day and I look like a jackass...

zack_e89 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well long story short I got a new hatch for my jeep and I ordered a new Jeep badge off ebay for 3 dollars and it said the adhesive was included on the back. I was thinking about using super glue or something similar if the adhesive didn't seem like enough, but I'm not sure what to use either as I want it to stick like you said but not take off paint if it needs to be removed I guess. Sorry I couldn't help you any but I'm kind of in the same situation as you. 97 Suburban 8 custom PSI Platform 3 18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just told to use this stuff to stick em on...so I'm goin that route just make sure that both surfaces are CLEAN, and make sure it isn't cold outside. the heat wont affect it too much, but it can have an effect. id say put it on when it is about 75 out and you should be good to go This page is crispy_chick3n approved. © crispy_chick3n inc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterJohnson Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 3m from homedepot the gray double sided tape with red plastic covering it. Put it on the emblem then use a razor to shave off the excess then pull the red plastic off and attach it to ur car.

russtezecustoms Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Yup the 3m grey as stated above clean all old adhesive off of the old embelems, it helps to have some masking tape to help line everything up cause once the 3m makes contact with anything it wont let go. The 3m iz what the factoty uses and will last probably longer than the car. I just wish i had a funny sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDetty Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I pulled off the Civic emblems from my car to paint them, I glued them back in with super glue and they haven't fallen off since. Just putting that out there. 1999 Honda Civic- RIP 2003 Acura RSX Type-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
