Sorry for my outburst there... I just think the front snd rear emblems really add to the car... others may not were all vette lovers tho. however I do think the c6 emblems look amazing id almost be willing to switch but I bet itd look tacky on a c5?

As mentioned previously, it does make it a lot easier to clean without the emblem.

I'll take it either way. Certainly looks better with different colors.

A lot of the Honda guys like to de-badge their rides. For them though I think it's to have people guess what they have.

Be careful with the 3M adhesive remover, took my (Ford) truck paint off.

Why would anyone in their right mind take the Corvette emblems off of their car? Oh the insanity...

The Bowtie is behind the license plate. Although technically, it's not behind mine because I swapped out the OEM reverse lights for the Adjure Diamond Cut reverse lights.

Funny, because I have 4 of those 3D C5 Cyberdine wheel cap logos that I have not used. The plan was to use them on the center cap of an aftermarket wheel, however I just mounted my CCWs and I chose the CCW logo instead.

So both the front and rear are stick on or just the rear? I wouldn't mind taking mine off just for the fact that it would make waxing a lot easier!

Front emblem has 2 alignment pins, holes on front need to be filled and front bumper painted.

I like my emblems! I waited a looooong damn time to get my first 'Vette (on my fifth now) and I like that it proudly displays just what it is!!!!!!

However, I still haven't figured out how to get the area around them truly clean with no crud or wax residue trapped in the corners!! Grrrrrrrr!!

What sucks is that you could really damage your emblem by removing it and they're pretty expensive, if you want to put it back on..

Could be worse, you could have a GM badge on your fenders.

Don't forget 2 logos on the speedo and tach.
