How to get the adhesive for side moulding and badges?
i did the !side moulding! delete on my trans am along with the badges and im not sure if i like it. i kinda think i may want to put them back on and just get the overlays for the badge. so my question where do i get the adhesive for the moulding and badges. would that be a dealer thing or what.

I believe it's a 3M product called VHB adhesive....
I have a roll of the stuff at home I got from my dad.

It's all 3M tape. They die cut the stuff for the badges and emblems. You'll have to stick it on and break out the Xacto knife and trim it to fit. They make varying width and thickness tapes so make sure you get the wide thin stuff to fit the badges.

well im wondeering because i dont wanna use some aftermarket tape thats tufer than the stock stuff incase i ever decide to remove it again for some reason. the stock adhesive doesnt hurt the paint and comes off fairly easy. does the 3m stuff work the same or is it more sticky and such. or is it exactly the same

huh, some people? why not just buy all new then. I mean, you know what it looked like with the stuff on there, and now you know what it looks like with it off, so why on, then off, again maybe, doesnot make sense to me.

3M is what GM uses. There's different widths, thicknesses and adheasive strengths. I don't know exactly which one they use but it's pretty close to what you can buy in the store.
