Attaching Exhaust Plate
I bought a used exhaust plate and have almost finished painting it.
How do you guys attach these? I've got the uber plastic velcro and I think the guy I bought it from said he used some epoxy.
What works best so I don't lose my new custom plate??

I used a couple of strips of 3m double sided tape, no problems on two Vettes.
Just prep the area good first with some isopropyl alcohol.

That's what I used (I didn't even prep that well) and 2 years later it's still there. (I think, I better check when I leave work tonight)

Sounds like my velcro will work. I like the idea of 4 strips - don't know why I was only thinking about two strips.
I'll prep it real well. I've been using lots of undercarriage spray on it to keep it black so I bet I need some elbow grease to get it clean!
Thanks everyone!!! I'll post some pics when I get it done. I think you guys will like it.

My Dad put one on our vert, but it is ever so slightly crooked and been on there for about 5 years. I figure I'll take it off soon and replace. I guess I'll saw it off with fishing line, just like I did the rear emblem?
