Putting on custom Badges... - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JakesRJT · 03-02-2015, 05:06 PM

So I got some of the old school Camaro badges and am in the process of pondering how exactly I'm going to get these things to stay on the car...

I've seen this done by a couple of other members and for the life of me can't find them now to take notes on their process...

I'm figuring that I'll have to dremel off the posts on the back (that would have ordinarily pushed into holes in the fender which I will not be doing) and then find an extremely strong adhesive of some kind... Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time and consideration!

These are the new badges just for reference...

I bought a set from Emblempros.com. His don't have the post on the back but are held on by double sided tape. Nice badges by the way. Good luck.

3M makes some very good very strong adhesive for this. Lowe's or the depot should carry it. But I would see what those are worth to a collector or someone doing a resto project and make a couple $$ and put the emblem pro's on there.

I'll go check out Lowe's today and see what they have... BTW these are stainless steel.. not too heavy but noticeably heavier than the plastic ones which is why I'm paranoid about them coming off!

I'll also check out emblem pros and see about pricing

lownslowss · 03-03-2015, 08:45 AM

That's what I would do. I don't know how rare or common those stainless ones are. Sometimes those things dissappear from fenders.

Do they come with the 3m double sided tape? or whatever it is they use? If so I'll probably go that route if they are the same size and use these badboys as decoration around the "man cave"

They come ready to install. I've been looking at them also.
