I got some at the local auto parts store. Make sure you get the the 3M tape (as you specified) for exterior trim. Lesser tape won't stick when it's very cold.

I just had the state 3M rep in my office Friday. They have some very strong tape. Choose wisely. If it is plain backed it is rubber based glue. If it has 3M on the back its acrylic backed. They even have tape glue made to bond to powder coating.

3M has a WIDE variety of attachment adhesives and their products are carried and stocked at hardware, home center, auto stores, body shops, etc. Read the label for applications on their product containers for suitability for the intended purpose.

If you want the good stuff, go to a automotive paint supply store. I have found out that there is a difference.

Walmart also has 3M double sided tape in the auto touch up paint section. At least around here.

Autobody/Paint Supply House.

If you are planning on installing the OEM front plate mount, may I suggest that you first look at Top Flight Performance's version. It's very well made and is quite popular for a variety of reasons.

OK< I can find the tape, but where do I get the "promoter" or a product that will do the same?
