3M is the best and probably the most expensive, but don't our babies deserve the best?

3m molding and trim tape, heavy duty. Sold locally at advance discount, and cheaper at walmart. It's the black tape you want and not the white.

3M IMO. Surface prep very important (alcohol cleaning). Good luck!

Thank you all, is there a difference between the black double faced tape and the white double faced tape ? Is one better sensitive to different temps or is it just a better grade tape than the white ?

I have used different brands. I think the last time I had to replace my rear emblem I used outdoor weather resistant scotch. It's what they use for name plates and such on houses. been through many car washes and it's still holding up well. never used 3M but it gets good reviews here. But these should come with the tape I would think.
