which 3m tape is this? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mokinbird87 · 08-27-2013, 04:24 PM

I`m trying to install the STI sideskirt on my BRZ... I bought the skirts used from a local guy and one side is new whereas the other side, he used before and removed the tape. I looked around everywhere but could not find out which 3M tape this is... I dont have experience doing body work so I was hoping you guys could help me out. also, do I need to use any adhesive promoter to have the tape stick really well to the body of the car? here is the photo of the good side:

here is what I think it is:

I used this for the HID ballast. it is very strong.

Just make sure its molding tape, and it'll stay on

Do you think the Scotts is stronger than 3M tape? Do you think it would hold on window rain guards better than the 3M? I look forward to your thoughts

I used it on some house works, like mirror etc. been almost 2 years now. It still strong stick as the first day I put the 3M tape on it. That is my experience of it.

Prior for the process, I used little alcoholic liquid that can buy from Walmart or other grocery store, apply on the surface and clean well, let it dry. Then put the 3M mounting tape.

@peace_noel Ok so it sounds like it is very strong! Do you think rain guard worthy?
