Just wondering if anyone has any experience using automotive double stick tape to adhere the letters to the grille. A hot rod buddy of mine says he and his friends have been using it for years. Told me cut out the exact size for each letter and put on. Since I've got about half the studs he told me just push them through the tape. My mechanic is concerned about the excessive heat and thinks that will cause a problem. Thanks!

It's the cool air intake. The only time it gets hot there is right after you shut your car off and some heat rises from the engine compartment. I seriously doubt it ever gets hot enough to melt double stick tape. Easy enough to test before drawing a final conclusion.
But as Tom referenced, the mesh / expanded metal isn't the best surface for pressure sensitive foam tape compared to a solid flat surface. Give it a try and let us know! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
