I am planning on putting different badges on the fenders and rear panel of my camaro. My question is, if i take the stock Z28 badges off of the fenders will there be discoloration where they used to be? Any feedback will be appreciated.

no, just a little adhesive, they come off very easy, there was no discoloration on mine when i removed them

There was no discoloration on mine either. I just had to wash all the adhesive off real good.

might try a claybar then a polishing compound if you may see a difference

I changed the emblems on my uncle's artic white z a while back and it didn't have any discoloration and its a 94 model. Here are a few pics.

use a hair dryer to heat up the badge..have it blow on the badge for a minute or two and then take dental floss and gently/slowly "saw" back and forth.. it comes off with no problem.. i had no residue but still wipe it down or wash your car afterwards

i like the stealth look of not having any badges on the car..

whats the best type of adhesive to use to put new badges on

Black Z/28

Try searching for 3m automotive attachment tape. They have a couple of different varieties for molding, trim, emblems, etc.

I'm gonna go with the stealth look for a while. I need to take mine off and repaint them. Right now my emblems are white and car is black. On black cars it hard to see black emblems anyway so it won't make a big difference when their off. I need to get me some RS emblems and paint them white and wait for someone to pick on me and surprise them.

ah! surprise! i love it, with the badges off..my z has the ground effects (i'm blanking on the name) on it so people think it is a rs with just an exhaust on it... that is until i put them a few car lengths behind me.. i've had the stealth look for about a year

I really wish everyone would stop de-badging their cars. I hate not being able to tell if a car is a Z28 without hearing it. Trans-AM's are easy to tell apart from Firebirds but all the Camaro's except for the SS look alike.

I just like knowing without having to look at their exhaust which isn't a sure sign either, or without having to hear it.
