Default Corvette emblem

Is the CORVETTE emblem on the rear deck of my 1978 Corvette secured by 3M tape or studs and nuts?

Rear deck - meaning the gas door?

If you mean the "C O R V E T T E" badging it too is attached with studs and nuts with a sturdy backing plate behind.

I couldn't find a reasonable way to access the nuts so I used 3M tape on mine.

You might be able to access the nuts by removing the gas tank filler surround. Mine was dry and cracked so I didn't want to completely destroy it by removal. New ones are soft and subtle.
