Removing Z28 badges 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.

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..

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.
