Question Silly questions...

How do you take off the SS emblems without damaging the paint?
Can the emblems be painted in another color?
How do you also take the stock front grille off?
Thanks a lot!

Heat the emblems with a hair dryer then use fishing line or dental floss.
Stock front grill comes off with a pull. Pull it as hard as you can, it'll feel like you're gonna break something but that's how it comes off.

Thanks a lot guys for the info.

The thing is that I wanna put some white stripes on my red camaro, so I'm thinking of painting and getting my emblems white as well to match and look good, something different.
