Hey jperea,

just looked at your gallery thats cool, was wondering how long ago did you paint your buckets and mirrirs and was it very difficult to do, or did someone do it for you, its what Im thinking about doing on mine! also the calipers how did you do those with high temp paint? just lookin for some info!

Thanks

I have the same concern. Anyone know of a 3M adhesive other than tape that would work?

Like i said earlier mine are held on by the 3m sticky tape and they have held up through a very wide temperature range. As well I use a presure washer at least once a week and they are still as good as they day i put them on. As long as you install them as per the instructions you wont have any problems.

as there shouldnt be for something all you have to do is unwrap them, peel the tape, and stick them on. How hard can it really be? However I did use alchohol to clean my door handles before putting mine on.

Why do you think the TFP packaging states, “for show and off-road use only"? They don't want to be responsible if they fall off doing 70 mph on the highway. I’m leery because the plastic handles aren’t the best surface for double stick tape.

TFPs are stainless steel Im pretty sure. I have them and I have had my truck much over 70mph and they haven't flown off. I've used this tape on my license plate frame to get rid of the annoying rattle on my last car but when I was taking it off I couldn't get it off without bending my license plate all to hell.
