Stainless Steel Bumper Inserts

Do these inserts come with adhesive on them? If not, what should i get to apply them. Also, how thick is the stainless steel and what gauge steel is it.

They come with a doublesided adhesive...uit's pretty easy to use just becareful cause once it's on that's it...I put the insert on the adhesive then carefully removed the letter I needed from the sheet...you'll know what I'm talking about when you get them...the adhesive in cut out like the letters but in one sheet, like a puzzle.

My suggestion is to get a stronger adhesive. I have read on many forums that these inserts (made by UPR) tend to come unstuck after a while. Get some 3M Bonding tape and it should hold it a LOT better.

Bought mine from here I think and have had no problems.Once you put them on you better hope they are straight cause that **** sticks tight.Mine had the glue(tape)already on them just pulled the backing off and installed them.

Do yourself a big favor, wwhen you put em on and press them in, do NOT apply more pressure towards the middle of the letters or they will kinda warp and stick out on the sides, then you gotta get a screwdriver and stick it in the middle while pushing the sides to get em looking right.

wwhen you put them on, apply pressure on the outside only, never the center.
