Nice! Did you patch the holes that the stock L-82 emblems went into or just cover over with the stripe?

My L82 emblems were applied with that double stick tape, so there were no holes!

Its an aftermarket piece that fits in the license plate area to simulate the louvers that cover the blinker area. The guy I bought the vette from had it installed and I liked it so I left it alone.

They look great on your '77

Only graphic I've seen that contributes and doesn't take away from the C3 lines.

Nice addition to your car Do the decals have stick-um on the back or how do they install? Do you know if they can they be removed later without damaging the paint?

They are standard vinyl graphics with adhesive backing. Directions are the standard wet install- recommend water with some alcohol. First set i got, i used this technique and ended up with allot of bubbles the next day. 2nd set i installed dry- used a unique method, not straight forward

if anybody knows of a Silver decal that would fit my hood, I'd appreciate knowing about it.
