3M pannel tape, super thin.. like construction paper thin. find some adhesion promoter, and this thing will be back on stronger then new!

I may still have some left over from when i reinstalled my emblems after painting them.

Awesome. What part of Jersey? I live near Mercer/Burlington Counties.. I'd really appreciate if you could hook me up with some! I'd pay you for it.

Let me know, thanks.

I called my Toyota dealer, they told me it would be $32.95 for a new Yaris emblem (with adhesive inc. obviously), and I said forget that. So I asked him how much for just to put my original badge back on for me, and if they could give me a new adhesive and line it up nice, and they said that would cost $28.95. I was like whawhawhat? No. Nonono.

But the guy was cool. He told me (like the rest of you) to go over to Wal-Mart or any other store and buy some 3M Doublesided tape..

Couldn't find any at Wal-Mart quite possibly cause the town is pretty ghetto, so I got some 3M Molding Tape. Looks like the stuff the factories use? But anyway, PAIN IN THE ASS TO CUT TO SIZE.. NEVER EVER AGAIN!!! Take my word.. Don't debadge unless you really, really think it through..

I put it on and voila, looks fantastic and better than before ;) Girls can do anything boys can do!

Cheers,
Laney

Glad it worked out for ya...

Yes trimming it just perfect is a PITA, but try having to trim around the front and rear Toyota round emblem after painting..

Better to take your time, then rush and have it look like shit.
