Question Those with the 69' style Z28 emblems...
Hey fellas, I just got my emblems in from work & noticed that they have a slight curve in them... Do you just pop them on or try flattening them out some??? Also do you recommend using the pins & nuts or grinding them off & use double sided emblem tape.. Thanks in advance!!

Mike

Cool, thanks man... I've already got the pins ground off, but wasn't sure if the emblem would break if I tried to straighten it... I'll try your method & see what happens... Thanks again!

I didnt do anything with the curve on mine, I just cut off the pins, used some 3M tape, and stuck em on. Theyve been there the last 2 years with no problems, looks fine to me.
