Expired Tape: Bumpers & Bumper Accessories

I wish I had read the 1 or 2 star reviews on this product before purchasing. Don't worry about it unless you're willing to spend a lot of time setting it up. They are tough and won't stay. I took them and painted them silver to match my car. It went on and on fine, but I did it outside when it was windy and on the sidewalk where it was muddy. Rolled up, it was very difficult to spray the paint evenly. After drying I decided to glue; Only to find out the first 4 feet were usable, the rest looked like the glue was completely gone and wouldn't stick at all. Unfortunately, I didn't know of any of these before cutting them to length or painting them, so I can't go back. So if you still want it, test the stickiness of the adhesive on the back in various places before it is even applied or cut. To make matters worse, I tried reattaching it with silicone glue, but that didn't work. I gave up after wasting a whole day on this and now trying to peel the silicone adhesive off my bumper is an absolute nightmare when trying to scrape it off by hand. To be honest you'll likely come across similar products unless you're willing to pay a higher price and it comes with a much higher quality tape. On the other hand, for only $10, I got spray paint that was an exact match to my car's color. I can just spray paint on the bumper if needed instead of having to worry about it.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Can't remember what it was
