Default Need Help With Badges!!!

Ok so about 2 months ago i bought stainless ss badges from muffinbuster and im dying to put them on..but im getting a full paint job in about 2+ months. Can i put them on and then when the shop takes them off to paint the car can they use the same ones or am i gonna have to pay 70 bucks to get another set.

As long as you take them off correctly then you can just re-apply 3M to the back and slap them back on

If it's die cut tape I'd just wait. I'll make it look cleaner then if you try and reapply it and cut it out yourself. Unless you can get Muffinbuster to just sell you a set of pre cut tape.

i had to get my front end painted.. and they removed them, and put them back on no problem.. just make sure u tell them to put them in the exact spot them were.. like i think its 2 fingers across from the inside, and two fingers up..

lol. yea i had to do my a second time to... and new headlights are freakin harder to get apart! but the old silicone comes off alot easier once apart. i love that mod tho! IMO black maros should have come stock with it... i need to swap out my grill tho... i dont like that one i have.. i had it off before..but wen i took it to the shop they put it on for free..so i just left it.. maybe later on ill fork out the moolaa for a slp one.
