No! While you could make any badge a magnet with a little DIY, our badges are adhesive, and stick more securely and with more durability than ordinary stickers. We use 3M automotive-grade adhesive, which is safe on painted surfaces AND safe to remove, but will stay put for as long as you want it to. 

The automotive industry standard is chrome plated ABS plastic with 3M automotive grade adhesive. Our goal is to make products that are indistinguishable from a factory installed badge, so in the spirit of seamlessly matching what’s already there, we make them to the exact same specifications of what’s already there. 

No! We made our badges “cars first” – which means that we wanted them to be a high enough quality to withstand the elements and be durable enough to survive the lifetime of your vehicle.

We guarantee that the badge will securely adhere on the first application, but offer no promises for reapplications. This is because a lot of factors go into the state of the adhesive after removal, like time since application, exposure to the elements, and method of removal. Feel free to give it a try though!
