Where is the best place to buy these letters? Do I have to get them directly from the manufacturer?
You can find emblems anywhere, Amazon, Autozone, O'Riely's, Walmart, etc. But if you want stock emblems you'd be best off going to the car manufacturer website!

Junkyard man. Easy pickins
I bought mine on eBay for half the $$$ the dealership wanted.
@@rammiq hello I have a Acura TL as well. My TL came off and there’s a bunch of gunk stuck on the car. How do I get all the gunk off?
I’d wouldn’t recommend tracing the tape with the letters. You can see the edge of the tape around the letters still. Cut the tape slightly smaller than the size of the letters to get cleaner lines.
I agree! As long as the double sided tape is pressed properly on both sides it should work. But great recommendation! Thank you for sharing!
For future reference
Double sided tape for hollow letters
3m glue flat back letters
Very clear instructions! Thanks for another great video
Glad it was helpful!
I find clear rtv a small bead on back of badge holds great, if ever removed it us like rubber easy to remove not damaging paint. If a bit of rtv oozes out it is clear so hides pretty well
Thank you for the help man! I had no idea isopropyl alcohol was the best tool for this!
Great cleaning solution! Don't be afraid to use it brother!
Awesome :) thank you for sharing this. It looks really good, gonna use this method as well!
Glad you like it!
Great Video! Thanks for teaching us
Glad you liked it!
I have always wanted to learn this!!!!
Hope this video helped! Simple, cheap & easy!
Unknown mortal orchestra!!!
This is like a full chemistry lab. Did the molecules in the paint come to equilibrium with the Isopropyl alcohol or was it an imbalanced equation?
It is like Chemistry lab lol! Isopropyl alcohol is neutral in nature (pH Scale around 8). It is safe to use on car paint!
This looks terrible. the tape is sticking out behind the letter

Is there another adhesive you would recommend besides the double-sided tape? Just curious. Thanks!
Good question! Honestly I don’t have any other recommendations myself. I’ve seen this to be the most effective & cheapest solution!
I’m sure there are plenty out there! Hope this helped
You can use 3m super adhesive glue though.. but it might be difficult to stick the emblems which have are hollow.. like the one you saw in video.: you need a double side tape for those kind of badges or letters..!
the link u posted is for the half inches tape. is that the same size you used in the video? in the video the tape looks more than 1/2 inches. waiting on a reply. thank you
Correct, the link I have in the description is the same in the video
How long till you can wash the car again
My second car is A TL minimal repairs good-looking, if it's just weren't those damn seats lol
Why does the TL look like pi?😂
Double side tape vs glue, which one is better?
If you had to chose, go with Double sided tape, I fear that glue with ruin the paint and drip all over. Making a mess and potentially falling off in a month or two due to severe weather, hot or cold.
Can I use different double sided tape.. not 2M brand? Thanks
Any adhesive will work relatively fine. The only reason I chose 3M is to protect the paint underneath the letter, and to get a solid, uniform fit to adhere aggressively onto the car. I hope this gives good insight! Thanks for asking!
@@rammiq thanks 🙏
I should be working right now but I’d rather learn how to use isopropyl alcohol to soup up my car in more ways than I could imagine!
You better believe your sweet teez! Glad you enjoyed the video bromigo ;)
Acetone(nail polish remover) and turpentine work better than alcohol imo
You know I didn't even think about those options but that can 100% work as well! I use alcohol because I know it evaporats quickly and is safe on paint, technology, just about anything!
But Acetone & turpentine work too! Thanks for sharing :)
@@rammiq Acetone always works better than isopropyl for residue
Looks good. Now do a O, or Q, or a R......
What is the name of the glue tape or where can I find it ?
It’s called 3M double sided tape! Link is in the description of this video
@@rammiq thank you I am thinking of relocating the letters on my Silverado like the new ones under the bow tie maybe it comes out cool now thanks to you 🙏🏻 you have a new subscriber, I love your videos
@@carlosramos1189 Thank you Carlos! I really hope that turns out great for ya! The new Silverado letter placements look sleek and if you do it, I know it will turn out great! Cheers man and thanks for subscribing 😃
Guy said dw 40 instead of wd 49
when I go to Walmart, do I just ask for double sided 3 m tape
Yes! They should have the same tape I used in the video. Since I got that exact role at my local Walmart. Hope this helped!
Does this come off when u got through car wash ?
No they don’t! I can speak from experience and I’ve gone to the car wash numerous times and the letters are still strong! Even when hand washing, I brush over with my sponge with significant force and its on there strong!
Hope this helps!
It's crooked tho.
Boom! 👌🏼
Easier than bookin’ a hotel
I didn't find that that tape lasted!
Oh man! I'm sorry to hear that, mine is still holding strong even after almost a year!
Did you follow the instructions when installing? I hope I can help :)
Seems pretty strong, but how will this stop some scum bag with a screw driver etc ripping this off?
I always prefer complete de-badge. This gives the car a more badass look.
My man 😎😎 a clean de-badged rear end is always a clean 🧼 look
I always wonder what you're hiding and why? Makes me think you're poor and ashamed of your budget model.
uff
am I the only one who see it out of line from the top you should've ut masking tape on top your T is not perfect.
I agree
Ey, Ohio
Dw-40 😂😂😂
bad job trimming the double sided tape. Not impress at all.
HEY its not GLUE. Its 3M badge tape. You can buy it at any parts store. Your constant reference to glue is just dumb. And wrong
Appreciate the constructive criticism. The language can be interpreted differently but you are correct, it isn’t glue.
Rob Elder: Oh man, give him a break. Come on now. It’s a great video!
lol what a mess
The tape should've been put on first.
