It won't cost you more than $10 probably. That way you'll have brand new adhesive

Since the "GT" and "GTS" emblems are much smaller, I figured they'd be a little cheaper

So I'm deffinately going to find an alternative, but I will look into the 3M double stick tape, would Wal-mart have the tape? The 2ZZ god

So I'm deffinately going to find an alternative, but I will look into the 3M double stick tape, would Wal-mart have the tape? think about it: it's gonna be nearly impossible to cut the tape so that it fits perfectly behind all those letters. Just break down and buy the damn emblem. Yeah, it's a ripoff, we all know that. But you'll only buy it ONCE EVER, and then you're done.
