Interior Badging

[Wildturkey707]

Hello all my ZR2 friends! I am seeing some talk about the lack of ZR2 badges / Labels / Embroidery all of these things on the interior of the vehicle. My question for any of you out there is concerning "Badging" what type of adhesive or glue is to be used to attach a badge inside the vehicle on a surface without damaging it or it being permanent? I agree some additional badging or the 42 Stich embroidery might look nice but am worried that if I clear Gorilla Glue a ZR2 badge to my dash if I ever want it off the dash will come with it lol. Help me out with ideas, suggestions and pics of what you guys have done. Thanks Again.

I'm not an expert by any means but I think I would use auto grade 2 sided tape. 3M makes a lot of automotive stuff so I would start looking there.

Yes I ordered the badging and the cupholders from him. He shows a pic with the badging on but says he doesn't want to give out the adhesive he used cause he thinks he would be liable or something.

dont use gorilla glue. 3m adhesive/ double stick should be fine.

It specifically says not to use it on Leather. I was thinking of putting the ZR2 badge on the secret storage above the glove box. Like I said I am just worried it would leave residue if I want to remove later or put it on and don't like it instantly lol.

They make a really thin double sided tape for these type of applications. It may not hold up to heat. That thick gray tape Will look sloppy if it sits flush with edge of badging.

Also, they make several kinds of hot glue with different adhesion levels. You could use the lighter adhesion and prechill the surface with an ice cube and then apply to avoid heat damage. Test in an inconspicuous area they say.

Went with this for now. This is not the badge that I bought from the forum but a front grill badge that I removed the posts and existing tape from and added my own tape. Tried center as well but kind of liked the corner better. Axe is correct about edges looking sloppy with the thick grey tape. If this ends up being my permanent location I will try a better tape job or perhaps the hot glue. Also tried lower on the carbon fiber section that looked pretty cool as well.

As long as you put it next the the K&N sticker, you should be good.
