Gee Thanks !! Neighbors would probably think I was a burglar and call the cops!! And no, We don't have a garage. Just a carport.
Guess I'll just take my chances and stick 'em on anyway. If they fall off in a couple of days I'll know better the second time>

Well if you have dentures, at least gargle. My thought was the breath might adversely effect the adhesive.

BTW Alzonie, I think you'll be fine. Warmer is always better than the colder side of that range. Just keep the things inside until you're ready to put them on. The adhesive will be in the appropriate temp range. I'm sure you'll be fine.

Although it say's 60 - 90 you should be OK at higher temps. You don't want to install them in cold temps cause the adhesive won't set. But the adhesive should work fine in higher temps. We have to deal with this here in Florida as well and I've never had an adhesion problem with our combined heat and humidity. Just look for a nice shady place to do your install. Not necessarily because of the adhesion issues, but so you don't fry up like an instant post toasty....hahaha, We hate loosing HHR members that way

Here you go...pulled them from your album. To do this, click on the picture you want to post, copy the url for the BB Image Code and paste it into your post. I do believe that you need to be a premium member in order to do that...so why not take the plunge and join for $5.99 a year. Will be the best money you've spent.

Well, I put them on a few days ago and they're still there !! Funny, I hadn't noticed before that the "Bumperettes??" on the back bumper are a bit narrower than on the front. The pads fit much better on the front than the back. The Wife never noticed them! Neither did she notice when I applied the "Chevrolet" in block letters on the upper bar of the grille a while ago. Guess she's in her own little World !

Your biggest problem may be finding a vendor that will ship to Mexico. Have a poke through the thread and forum and you will find several suggested suppliers, one of which, if I recall , is Amazon.com. Then the first thing you need to do is find out if they will ship to you. I think, based on suppliers that will ship to Canada, your choices may be limited, making the decision easy.

Just a word on the funstionality of theses.....

I was rear-ended a few weeks ago, only $435 damage. I'm sure it was so little because of the extra 1/2-3/4 inch protection from the bumper pads. The other car's bumper only touched mine in the center where their plate was. I was really thankful for the extra protection.

Best $20 I've spent on "Bob".
