    • Isopropyl alcohol wipe (included)
    • Clean microfiber cloth

    Step-by-Step Installation

    Tips for a Perfect Install

    • Install at room temperature. Cold surfaces (under 50°F) weaken initial bond.
    • Avoid curved surfaces, our badges mount flat. For convex grilles, contact us for a flex-mount option.
    • Don't install over vinyl wraps or matte paint without confirming adhesive compatibility first.

    FAQ

    What if I mess up the placement?

    Within the first 30 seconds, you can still reposition. After that, use dental floss to slide under the badge and restart.

    Contact us before ordering, certain wrap textures affect adhesion.

    Does the badge damage factory paint?

    No. The 3M™ adhesive is paint-safe and removable with adhesive remover.
