Pretty simple really...I think i'm gonna remove my side flare and see if I'm able to fix my gap problem i've talked of frequently...however, I haven't the slightest idea where to look to pick up some of this tape.

I'm simply looking for some of the same stuff used on the parts when I received them new. I believe it's 3M double-sided foam adhesive tape.

It doesn't look as if anyone at auto zone or advance auto has any, so where would I look for this?

Even though in all actuality, I question if I even need anymore. For all i know, the side skirts I installed 3 days ago may retain a good amount of adhesive.

Thanx in advance guys

:)

I got some in a roll at Walmart.

3M or just a basic tape?

I talked to an autoshop today and they pointed me to a painters supply shop that supplies auto paint. If it's the same stuff at wally world though, I'm sure it'll be about 1/2 the cost of the stuff from a professional painters shop.

Thanx for the heads up though...might swing by on the way to work tonight :-)

hardware store??

3M

Thanx guys...picked some up tonight from walmart. I'm gonna try and apply it tomorrow morning. It looks a little wider than the stock tape that came on it, so i wouldn't see any reason it wouldn't hold :)

Kragen and most Home Depot's sell the wider and "taller" 3m Tape. If you want real, low profile and thinner 3m, I'd go with ebay. I had to re-install one of my eyelids and used the Home Depot 3M tape at first. It was too "tall," that is, it made one eyelid higher than the other. So I had to remove it, again and this time I used some real low profile 3m tape from ebay. It was really thin, height-wise, and just as strong and weather proof.

Hope this helps?
:Peace:

staples/office supply store. They have lots of different double sided tape.

Bought 2 rolls at Wal-Mart today for $2.44 each. Scotch 3M brand, automotive trim adhesive tape. Great price for the real deal. YMMV. :)

yeah, i found that it is some pretty good tape, but may be a hair thicker than the stock tape that Mazda put on the flares to begin with.

Also a note to those who don't know, it adheres and sticks a lot better when warmed up with a blowdryer first. It makes the tape a lot more tacky.

Kragen/Schucks, thats where I got my 3M. Stuff works good and it's supposed to be OEM approved ooohhhhh.

where do you guys find the black double sided tape instead of the gray?

:D:

Use a permanent marker to color the side that shows. ;)

Here is some interior black double sided tape: http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/3M_DOUBLE_SIDE_TAPE_IN_BLACK_p_1256.html

I found that touch-up paint worked absolutely great. While it's not meant to be be an adhesive in any way, it does a great job of closing up the gap somewhat WHILE coloring any remaining tape that might have been showing.

It's pretty nice. I'll be sure to post some pics.
