    What is best adhesive used to attach toyota letters to grill? I was thinking of using the double sided tape that it comes with but using the adhesive on the post off back of letters that go into the hole on the grill. Does this seem to be best course of action or have you done something different? Thanks

    yes jb weld for plastic. i threw a bit on the back of the lettering and stuck it on. grab a second popsicle stick and wipe off the excess.
    it's like permanently glued on now. went through extreme heat in the summer and negative degree weather in the winter with zero issues.

    yep. there wasn't enough surface area for the double sided tape to give me confidence it would hold up in the long run. that's just my opinion though.

    I’ve been told that juicy fruit gum works well.

    I received grill today. I mixed up jb weld for plastic but using it on first T it has very small edge so the epoxy was squeezing out pretty bad so I ended up using the double sided tape that comes with the grill. Afterwards I did turn it over and I used the jb weld for plastic on back of the post that c ok me through the holes and covered every post with epoxy. Hope that will give me extra insurance. By way that first T only has jb weld on parts on t that recessed and touches the flat louvered on grill with epoxy on post. Hopefully that one will hold even though no tape. I was afraid try pull it off with the epoxy setting already
