C4 Emblem differences ????
I have my 87 emblems kind of faded out
i want to put brand new emblems (hood and gas door)
i found a set,but it says 1991 to 1996
and here is the 1984 to 1990
What are the differences apart of the red background ?
i think the ones on the car are bolt on not sure on this ones !
are the bolt or pins on the back different on the 84-90 and 91-96 ?
i think mine has some nuts from the other side of the door for attaching securely and no one can stole it ,but im not sure i dont remember
what you think ?
thanx a lot

). Just pull the rear gas lid and you will notice the nuts. All the replacements I have seen from the parts houses however has a solid core pins (no threads) that would need to be cut with a acorn style compression nut that cuts the solid core pins as the move down the shaft. (this process
imho) Here’s the problem they will snap off sometimes during this process. A lot of folks these days just use the adhesive

My car had no emblems on it when I got it, apparently they were removed to facilitate the paint job, I bought chrome ones from the chevy dealer and used both the glue and acorn nuts to hold the new ones on. Didn't seem that hard to do.

You'll have a gap underneath the emblemns.
The foam padding addesive cushions the emblemn from vibraing and scuffing your paint. It also works as a gap diffferintial closure.
The emblemns have an adhesive as well as the acron nuts. Use the stock material.

Have fun putting the nuts on the front emblem. I know I did.
It's totally blind and completely stretched out to reach down and up in the holes.
Put the nuts into a deep-well 1/4" socket on a short extension first, and then thread 'em on by hand so you can feel them get started before you tighten them with a socket wrench.
The adhesive backing will keep the emblem in place while you do this.

No threads. The split-nuts dig into the pot-metal studs as you turn them.
They're actually friction nuts.
Do Not over-tighten them.

Take em to ACE hardware show them the pins on the back of the emblem. They can hook up up.
