Re: Installing new emblems. (tikiltd)
Just unscrew the nuts on the back side of the hood/gas door. I had some pretty big problems removing mine... some paint came off with them because that adhesive was SOO strong. Luckily it doesn't matter that the paint came off where it did, because it is covered by the replacement emblem. Use some goo-b-gone on the left over adhesive after you get them off.

I dropped the nuts off of my hood emblem only to lose them inside the hood lining. Instead of trying to find more of those self-tapping nut things, I found a peice of strong rubber hose that was slightly smaller than the pegs on the emblem. I cut two peices about 2" long, and pushed them onto the emblem instead. It's still on there nice and strong, and I can remove it much easier next time.

Any particular adhesive you use when attaching the new emblems?

I wouldn't bother with the adhesive, I put mine on without it and they are
fine. Also, on the front emblem, I put a small piece of electrical tape inside the socket so that I wouldn't lose the nuts into the hood.

There is none on the hood emblem, a new gas door emblem will come with it already on it. You peel of some blue paper stuff, and then just stick it on.

Re: Installing new emblems. (Glock'94)
What about the word (Corvette) on the back? Do you have to get up in there from the inside to remove it? Or can you do the whole thing from the outside?
Thanks for everything so far people - good stuff. :flag

Re: Installing new emblems.
just use fishing line to remove the old adhesive. get the fishing line behind the emblem and move the line while using a "teeth flossing" (up and down) motion.
