There's so many types of 3m tape

Which one should I get to put the emblems back on my car.

This works?

Could anyone link me to what I need to make the job easier.

Thanks,

Nick

Look up 3M's molding tape....they should be a gray tape with red backing/peel.

be sure to pay attention to how thick it is... I have the red back stuff (it's too thick IMO) and a thinner kind that has white backing... the thin looks better for letters and emblem... the red thicker stuff would be better for splash guards...

Edit for retard spelling (think instead of "thick")

yes definitely the gray with the red backing/peel

...they come in different widths but all of them are made for things like splash guard, side moldings, those window rain guards, etc. I've seen them at Pep Boys for at least 10 bucks a roll, not cheap.

i think the white ones are for lighter objects which doesn't require a super bond.

Some people have taped the bottom part of the grill to help it stay on, but others have said it's not really needed.

And as for the emblem tape, they have some at Carquest. So if you have one of those local, then its quicker than ordering online.
