the badge came in the mail from 24designs.net(bowtie, black with yellow SS) i have no idea how it is going to stay on the front where the old bowtie went. the new bowtie is flat and the surface is curved. any suggestions are welcome!

 

3mm double sided tape should do it

 

it alreay has double sided tape on it, the thing is, all of the badge does not touch the car only the center.....anyone who has done this, please help me out

 

you have to take off the old badge and then the new one will go on flat

 

lol are you serious?!?! DUH

the badge from 24designs is flat, the stock one is not. the fit is horrible, any helpful suggestions?

 

use blue bonding puddy

 

Does 24Designs have any info to help you? I was looking there and decided against them when they told me they were flat and only stick on.
Please let me know how it turns out.

put more tape where you need it?

 

nah the badge does not bend to stick on the curved surface

 

you could always try bending it to shape....

 

That's why I never bought those ghetto badges. Please......

 

lol, well ive seen it on some peoples cars here, and wanted them to see the thread for help..

 

may i make a small suggestion and heat the badge with a hair dryer when you use your double sided tape to make it bend a little i know if u hold it in 1 area too long it will start to bubble and look like crap i cant remember if the badge u are talking about is metal or if its plastic i know my center steering wheel one from 24designs was perfict. maybe that will work for you

 

I was about to order this today, but maybe I won't. Subscribed!

 

I'm with 2006BlackSS/SC try and heat it up... then you should be able to force it into the shape you need... but you may ruin it if you heat it too much

 

The one i got from 24 designs does bend a little and it fit fine. I didnt put it on though cause i decided on another size instead

 

i will try and use warm to hot water instead of a heat gun or hair dryer

 

i bent mine to shape....make sure u clear coat b4 u put it on....mine started to fade

 

you are supposed to take the stock emblem off and replace with the new one. Have a look at the pics on their site. I bought one a while back and have yet to put it on, not sure if I will, might take the one off the rear and put it there instead.

 

if you really wanna do it right, make a jig with the same curve as the original badge, lay the new one on your jig, and heat it with a heat gun or hair dryer on high until it starts to bend, and just let it cool down. whala! a badge that fits perfect.

to keep it from bubbling or melting, dont hold the heat in one place, wave it back and forth to evenly heat up the plastic.
