Default How the hell do you get the flags off the C6 Z06s?

Ordered custom Z28 emblems to replace them...I ordered them with blank centercaps but they came with flags. :-( How the hell do I get them off? I remember a couple people mentioning doing it. I doused them with WD40 as DTD recommended but they're on there good! I try to lift at a corner and after a few tries a *tiny* piece will just chip off! Can't get under it. Any ideas?

Dammit! I guess I'll just put them back on with 80% chipped up Vette flags on them. You'd think if you spent $1500 on wheels you'd get what's in the friggin picture.

did you try contacting the person you bought them from and complaining? maybe there was a shipping mix-up. if it was a company i'm sure you could have returned them and gotten what you ordered.

Eh, I bought them in August. I didn't want to be a PITA and send them back when I thought they'd peel right off...I'm just now getting around to bothering trying to take them off. I shot them a PM, hopefully I can pick up some blanks for not too much coin.

I used paint thinner to remove mine. I have not seen any problems with them yet.
