Default vandalized

Today I went to check on my vette and wash it, only to find out that someone had been kind :mad enough to rip my front and rear emblems off the car. It really pisses me off when people do stuff like this, they obviously know there cars if they just did it to mine, when I see a nice car I like to admire it for what it is instead of trying to damage it because I am jealous. Oh well, I guess it has given me a new reason to justify getting new emblems.

Did it scratch your paint? I just replaced my emblems and it was a devil getting them off without scratching anything...

I wonder if they are a Corvette owner too since the emblems are not nearly as easy to remove as say a Caddy hood emblem kids love to steel. I mean just to remove the gas emblem, you'd need atleast a pair of pliers, then something like piano wire or dental floss to cut the adhesive. I ended up having to break mine off when I put a new rear emblem on.

Sorry to hear it. The chrome emblems look GREAT, especially on a dark car.

no they didn't scratch it, and I hope they weren't vette owners because they just ripped of part of the emblem and left a piece of it right on the center of the hood just to make sure I would notice

ninetyfive is right about the chrome emblems, they look much better than the black ones...

Glad they didn't scratch the paint....
