I have a new CF overlay for the Passenger A/C Vent in my 2013 GS. I need some suggestions for an adhesive that would work well in that area. I don't like overlays but this was the only choice for that area.

Anyone know what adhesive they use for the dash letters? It seems to work well.

Thanks Ahead!

Did the supplier not have a recommendation? I have read on ither posts of 3M 94 Primer.
There are hydrocarbon A/C vents available from some of the vendors. I got mine from American Hydrocarbon.

Thx, I also have the driver's vent cover and the maker said Epoxy but I was leary of using that on the dash. Thx.
This piece has no adhesive on the back at all, sorry.

Silicone or super glue will work. I used TKO's steering wheel overlays and used gel super glue and blue painters tape to hold it on for a few min.

Super glue will make it permanent where silicone could be removed.

The passenger side vent just pops off so you can do it on the work bench. I sent mine to TKO along with all my other parts.
