(Under) Hood Liner question
Is there a special tool that is used to pull the hood liner fastener "buttons". Can the original buttons be re-used? Has anybody used the silver / chrome buttons that Corvette Central sells, are they decent quality?
Finally, is the logo on the GM accessory (Z06) liner silk screened or embroidered?

A bbq fork works very well...make sure they are warm when pulling them straight out and you can re-use. Just do it after driving the car. The Z06 is a decal.
PS Cover the engine with a sheet or something because at least one will get away from you and it will bury itself in the engine.

Yes there is a special tool made just for this, I have one, think I purchased it at harbour freight. I think it is called a clip remover. I have also rused these type of clips b4.

If you want an embroidered logo, try http://www.carmotorsports.com/corvet..._insulator.php.
Beautiful until I read the price.

Embroidered is nice looking but if it gets dirty, its a problem. With a decal, it can be cleaned easily. With paint, it can be cleaned or touched up to fix dirt spots.

Here's what you need for removing the different push pins without damaging them.
You take a regular fork tool that is straight and put it in a vise and use a propane torch and heat it until it gets red and bend at a 90 degree angle.Works great for breaking down car interior too!
