3m double sided sticky tape should do the job

How do you get the front/grill badge off? I would like to replace it with a proper SS badge (where do I get one)?

I would also like to remove the trunk bowtie badge but leave the Monte Carlo SS badges.

What is the proper way to remove the grill and trunk badges? Thanks for any details...

Park in the hot sun or use a hair dryer to warm the adhesive up a little bit.

The front fatory bowtie is just applied with adhesive? Isn't the mounting surface on the grill the outline shape of the bowtie - if so, how does the SS badge look? Where do you get the proper SS badge for the grill?
Very sorry if this has been discussed previously

Its all good man, look at mels sig. I personally think if your a few feet away it looks great. But you can still see the chevy outline when up close. But if done carefully and take your time it'll look good.

Whatever happened to these guys?

http://www.grafxwerks.com

I wanted to get black SS badges and a black bowtie for the front. Had them bookmarked, and now nothing. Haven't emailed yet, just wondering if anyone else knew/saw anything.

All the cars you see on here with the SS front emblem still have the black bowtie outline behind them

the normal "not really into cars that much" person wouldnt notice at all. cant tell unless you really are looking for it. the SS badge on the grill that is.
