Leave your door open, drop the hatch (which will shut just fine all by its self) then shut the door...........

Remove an emblem, then add another one somewhere else? Doesn't make sense to me.

And glue for the console? Why didn't you just use double-sided 3M tape?

I agree. My first thought was - How do you close the lid - a handkerchief? - I only have to detail the emblem with Q-tips and toothpicks once a year or so when I reapply Zaino. I hate to think of the finger prints on the lid after a week of use. I usually wipe my car with Z6/Z8 a couple of times a week because I can see the finger prints on the door handles, windows, etc, but the trunk lid usually is pristine.

Closing the lid is easy... put the center of your hand on the edge and fling it down.

hahah i dont know what it is,.. but i read this entire post and it cracks me up because the emblem is now a preventive way of closing your trunk with out getting finger prints on your car. Seriously.... its a car get over it,...

I like the look. How do you remove the emblems from the car?

I don't like the emblem between the seats at all.

But I REALLY like the clean rear deck, I'm surprised about that.

Good job.

I thought of doing that when I had my 98 Vert, but reason took over.

FWIW I wish that my C6 had the emblem where the C5s do.
trying to decide now should I put a emblem there, (427 or possibly a 505HP) I cannot remove the one on the bumper or there will be a hole to fix.

Took mine off my vert. I think it cleans up the look but then again I like smoothies. Why does GM have to put an emblem or corvette on every piece or panel anyway?

I don't really like my emblem, but it's the only thing to put the fingers on when I close the lid
