[s-cars] new audi same old

[racingiron at comcast.net]

I've got no BTDT on license plates, but those thinking of Velcro might consider 3M Dual Lock. It's like velcro, but both sides are the same. Instead of hook-and-loop mating, each side has plastic stems with mushroom caps that snap together with the same caps on the opposite piece. It's strong stuff and just pops on and off (rather than ripping off like velcro, and the pop on install lets you know it's fully engaged). I first encountered it on my Beemer, where it's used to hold on some of the fairing pieces (along with some bolts) and the tank bag mount. An aftermarket company called Aeroflow uses Dual Lock alone to mount their lexan motorcycle headlight protectors. I guess the key is to make sure the adhesive works on the surface you're mounting the plate to. I find the stuff locally at Target.
