I mean yeah, they get the glue off but then......what the hell takes them off! This is what I'll be using when I take mine off this winter. jmo

I so wish Z28 owners would quit doing that. I see the cars all the time and unless they've got aftermarket exhaust I can't tell if they are V-6's or V8 cars.

I wish Chevy had done something to differentiate between the cars. Z28's just have the emblems, but otherwise they look like the plain base model car. SS's are much better with the spoiler and hood.

That's one thing I liked about how Pontiac did things. You can tell the difference in most cases.

Uh, Z28's have a black roof, v6's have body colored roof. Doesn't that differentiate?

This I did not know shows how much I pay attention. I just look for the badging on the rear facia, sides (I need to get out more). But, what if the car is Black............like mine?

You just have to look for the Z28 emblems, and if they aren't present, and the car sounds like a V8, it's either a Z28 or the person dropped a V8 in.

Cool. Thats what I said I look for. I was only pointing out that your Black top therory doesn't work on a black car making Firehawk0220 point. I as well wish they (Chevy) would have done something to differentiate the Z/28 as well. (Besides badging, black top, etc..) jmo.
