Kawasaki148 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Hi everyone, I just grabbed some new to me but used badges for me car. I got quite a few letters which add up to: Legacy GT Limited 2.5. I thought they would be fairly easy to slap on, but upon arrival I realized there is nothing on the backside of them, no adhesive or sticky, just plastic. If anyone could lend some advise on how to apply these bad Larrys without damaging the paint it would be greatly appreciated !! Cheers, KAWASAKI148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 double sided foam tape will work make sure you clean the surface with rubbing alcohol which will remove anything on the paint - wax... also if you are putting it on an area without any 'guide' lines, lay down masking tape on the area. this will help you with the words being leveled 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawasaki148 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 I was thinkin' silicone and double sided tape, I just don't think it will hold up at highway speeds which on average is 90+. contact cement would technically hold up good haha, although is not an option! Didn't know if anyone had put any on with luck. Cheers, KAWASAKI148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 there is automotive double sided tape for badges, look at your local automotive part store. it hard to get off when left to cure, its basically the same stuff OEM uses. If parts like lip spoilers use this stuff, then its good enough for badges:lol: I dont think going 90 will have effect on badges unless you have super stiff race track suspension 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I've had the 3M double sided automotive tape holding my rear badge on for over a year without any issues. I've washed it at least 25 times and its been through a midwest winter. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_ster Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 poly urathane like the stuff to put in windshilds in would do the trick Now that's thinking out of the boxer! fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground000 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I vote for Duct Tape or JB Weld:lol: Glue adhesive would be problematic later down the road if you do decide to remove it... 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruggerheist Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 double sided tape and an exacto knife to cut out around the letters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vr4Legacy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 What underground said. Your autoparts store will have it. I believe it even says for use with emblems on the package. It's intended for trim pieces and the like. It'll work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Nonononono you guys all have it wrong... You need a toyota or acura badge and respective models, camry or TL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
