I posted this question earlier on the Sound & Shine board and although it's not a 4.6 specific topic, I thought I might get some more responses if I stuck a copy here too.

Looking for suggestions for an adhesive to reattach the plastic trim pieces (ground effects) to my 98 GT. These are the Classic Design Concepts side exit exhaust pieces made of poly-urea. http://www.classicdesignconcepts.co...isplay/464.html
I've emailed CDC...waiting for a reply. This system was on the car when I bought it last month (in fact, it was dealer installed according to the original owner) and the sound is awesome with a Bassani X-pipe with hi-flo cats plus they look sharp too IMHO. The trim pieces seem to have been originally installed using some type of adhesive applied with a calking gun. I bought 3M automotive mounting tape for trim panels and it seemed very secure at first but after a couple of weeks it let go. Any ideas would be appreciated

you put two screws at each end inside the wheel well and that will hold it...I had mine on there for 3 years like that...My car was black so I just ran a bead of black caulking the whole way along the top edge...

These were installed in 97 on a new 98...7 years ago. They do have the screws mentioned but the whole top edge just below the door is loose and starting to sag and stress the points where the screws are.
