An emblem free rear end was not my goal anyway, but I thought I'd post photos of what the emblem inset looks like after you remove the cross flags emblem. The C7 has a belly button on it's rear end!

I didn't try to remove the emblems. I did remove the rear-end lettering, and the Stingrays, using some heavy gauge fishing line.

Good luck with the left-over adhesive - that is some tough stuff!

I don't under the anti badge camp. Did you have your nipples surgically removed too?

Definitely not as clean as the front Thanks for posting, I'll have to reconsider my decision of taking the flags off, at least the rear one.

It would be nice to have a "Stingray" instead of "Corvette" under the crossed flags.

Interesting that they have the emblem recessed into the rear fascia. Does kind of discourage taking the emblem off.

Interestingly, when I took my rear emblem off for the swap, I didn't have the belly button like yours does. Any others have the belly button?
