Hey all, I need to reattach a badge back onto my the car... Searched up and most people recommend double sided tape? But doesn't that make the badge easily removable? What's the stuff that holds the stock badges in place? Also, I may want to remove the badge later to attach to another bonnet, so is there any adhesive that is relatively sturdy yet is removable (without damaging the badge)? Cheers.

I have found that if you want to put them on 'PERMANRNTLY' then clean the area and use Mirror adhesion liquid nails.

It is used to stick mirrors to anything and on the back of mirrors there is little chance for anything else to adhere to.

I wanted different badges on my daily driver which unfortunately is a commodore so I bought belt buckles from City beach, ground off the shackle on the back of it with a rotary tool and glued it on with the Mirror Liquid nails. 2 years later they are still on there and are definately not coming off without a hammer and chisel of some sort.

yeh drive without a bonnet!

that wont cause problems..

Sure it wont... I have always wanted to cruise around for a bit without a bonnet, but my car is mostly stock so that wouldnt work. Flaunt wot u have, y not? By for a bit, I mean an hour or something

There's a new product called 3M invisible adhesive gel or something... they look like guey little drops of gel or glue - although they stick on nicely, they actually do not damange your paint work... so yeah... pretty good... go to Autobarn and give them a shot or something.

Cheers,

    • The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.
    • I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.
    • No ABS, no TCS, no airbags, no cruise control, no lane departure assist, no emergency brake assist, no orange lights in the mirrors (continuously annoying me in multi-lane traffic), no stupid rear view camera. I am the one responsible for where my car goes and how it does it.
    • Cheapest Jaycar one is only $65.
    • Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
