Default emblem placement help

i just ordered a couple of 69 z28 emblems and i was going to put them on the break in my hockey stripe.
should i go on w/ this idea or should i place them where the the current emblem sits?
if i put the emblem on w/ 3M tape, can i take it off later?
any help and comments appreciated

Once you put the emblems on they are on and the 3M tape is junk if you pull them off. You have to be careful while taking them off not to bend or snap them in half.

If you put them on with 3M tape and need to remove them later, just use 3M Adhesive Remover. It comes in a metal can and is available at most automotive chains. I got my can at my local Napa.

As far as placement, I say give the space in your hockey stick stripe a try. That might look really good.

I think it will depend on the size of the break in the hockey stripe. I wanted to use 69 350 emblems in my break but they're too short and looked funny not being as wide as the stripe was. I just went with the vinyl 350 lettering for now. I need to see some other model 350 emblems in person and measure to see if they'll fit. I think the Z28 emblem will be rather tall for the break.

Go for that look. There was a Z28 at a local car show that had the old school emblems without the hockey stripe...looked badass. I am looking for the photo of it right now.

OK I found my picture of that car. He put it where the stock Z/28 ones go. I like the ones in the hockey stripe better myself.
