It's very easy to do, all of the emblems are on there with double sided tape. Just use some fishing line to get them emblems off and use something like goo gone to get the rest of the tape off. I did my side GM emblems the other day took like 10 mins and just used some tar/bug remover.

Having a red car...I'm worried that it would be faded underneath. Maybe not though, I would love to have just the Chevy symbol on the back or have just the bowtie gone.

If you want to take the emblems off just do it, and if you have fading underneth which I doubt you will, you can always get some 3M double sided tape and put it back on.

Hate to jack the thread here, but while we're on the subject, what do you guys think about my quick photoshop job?

Do you have a picture? I was thinking that it would look odd with everything in the middle and on the right but I'm not sure.
