Is this emblem actually screwed in, or is it just glued on? i.e. if you wanted to remove it would there be an unfilled hole? If not, I was thinking of removing them and replacing with jake decals.

Not screwed on and no holes. Just heat it up a bit and peel it off. Most of us used fishing line as a "saw" to cut through the adhesive then cleaned it off after with goo gone.

Why?

I thought the same thing until they were removed for installation of a clear bra. I was asked if I wanted 'em remounted and I opted not to.

Looks cleaner without 'em, IMHO but I do have 'em if I change my mind

Steve Garrett

I hear ya, Ken. But the Stingrays are so cool. All the Jake decals I see have the C6 logo's for the eyes, not the C7 crossed flags as eyes.

KenHorse

I agree about the Jakes (but wouldn't use 'em myself) but I guess the C7R team will come up with an update....

And yea.. the stingray's are kinda cool but I'll see how it goes with leaving 'em off (I may buckle, who knows? )

Achmed

Looks like that's what I'll be doing then.

They are affixed with an adhesive, similar to a dealer's emblem.

Just pry it off with a cloth covered plastic lense remover, and balm the area with goof off, before affixing your new Jakes.

Come to think of it I won't need my flat black stingray emblems anymore which were recently shipped to me. They were online for $80, if anyone's interested I can sell them for about half of that or whatever's reasonable, if you're interested inbox me.

I would have rather had a written Stingray there as in days of old.

Remove the fish and replace them with a Z51 emblem

Achmed

lol

I'm one of the Z51 owners who do not consider Z51 to be a separate model or anything more special than the other common options. I never use "z51" in the phrase when describing my car, its either C7, corvette, stingray, etc.

Kind of on this topic... What's the best type of adhesive or tape to remount them if I wanted to paint them to match all the other trim pieces?

I've been considering doing it before some vandal does it for me - using a screwdriver as a tool and fekking up the paint. I'm probably also going to remove the "CORVETTE" srainless lettering from the rear. Everything will go into a baggie for the next owner. Just don't care for chrome on a modern 'vette.

As was mentioned - hair dryer + fishing line (30-lb) + GooGone = a clean surface.

I just removed mine 5 minutes ago. Fishing string and a plastic interior panel removal tool. Cleaned the leftover adhesive off with some goof off and replaced them with carbon flash metallic painted emblems from RPI to match the rest of my carbon flash metallic painted emblems. I'm not a big chrome fan so these were a nice compliment to the rest of the carbon flash paint on the car.

I really like your color combo. The white and black combo looks sinister to me

vincent_esq

Wow, now that i see a white c7 (like mine) with the black sperm....i mean stingray, I'm impressed and may do the same. Thank you!

Dave80C3

Removed mine the morning after I picked up my car. I have been debating for two weeks now weather or not to order them in Carbon Flash to put back on my car. It would look just like slief's car in this thread.

CORVETTE is removed from the back of mine, again done the morning after I brought her home. I have the CORVETTE on order in carbon flash black to go back on

I think since you are removing the Stingray emblem, you should consider installing some body side moldings.








just kidding

What adhesive did you use to reaffix the new emblem? How did you make sure it was straight?
