JETMAN95Z28

I've alwasy LOVED the look of the older style Z/28 emblems and am thinking of putting a set on my Black '96 Z. The factory black emblems are practically invisible on the black paint. Has anyone else made this addition? What kind of 2-sided tape does the factory used to attach these? What do I use to attach the new (old) emblems? How hard is it to remove the stock ones??? Anything a blow dryer can't remove?? ANY input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ive had them on my car for about a year now, the first day I had them on a guy in a 2000 SS pulled up next to me and told me they looked amazing, then proceeded to put about 5 car lengths on me, lol. It was cool anyway

Thanks for the input guys. No one mentioned on how to get the old emblems off as well as what I should use to re-attach the new emblems. Any ideas?? I would imagine the heat of a blow dryer would be enough to get the 2 sided tape off of the stockers, but where do you get the stuff to put them back on??

AlexDeLarge

I believe you can take them off using a hair drier and then gently applying a fishing line.
By the way, will you be interested in selling your stock Z28 badges afterwards?
Two of mine were stolen by some jerks and I've looking forward to get some new ones(they did a good job though, not messing with the finishing)

JETMAN95Z28

thanks for the fishing line input... hadn't thought of that. Just figured I'd get it soft enough with heat, and pry it back SLOWLY with a fingernail or other non-paint scarring material. also thanks, but I'll probably keep my old emblems just in case the possible "next owner" isn't as fond of my ideas as I am. I've saved all the stock parts from my "customizations" so far.

CARGASM

I have to say that I was one of the originals to do this about 4 years ago, and I have never had anything but compliments. I have some pics in my sig but as far as I can remember there aren't any close-ups.

As much as I want to tell everyone not to do it, so that I can stay unique, it does look really nice.

As for install, I got originals from a '68 Z. The backs had mounting posts that I cut off and filed down. The emblems I found are bent at the wrong angle, so you will need to bend them accordingly. I used two layers of 3M double sided tape to attach them, because the backs were grooved and I didn't want the metal touching the paint.

I found my emblems at a Camaro swap meet, however I think that they are easy to come by now from places like Year One.

I bought mine from www.camarosandclassics.com
They are OEM and cost a little more.
I used a razor blade that is made for removing such item - not sure where you'd get them because I got mine from the paint shop, but they are super thin, flexable and about 6 inches long x 1 inch wide.
On the 69 emblems, I also cut the studs off on the fender emblems and had to flatten them out as they are made to fit the contour of the 69 fender. I used a jack press we have at work to make them flat - just wrapped them up well and placed them between 2 steel plates and pressed them nice and flat.

I just bought a billet grill for my car and mounted a 1969 Z/28 emblem in the middle of it.. when I get the grill on the car I'll be sure to post pictures.
I'm driving with no grill right now, I kinda like the look, but the billet grill on there will look better
