The gas lid emblem can be removed by using a plastic tool to just pry it off. If you lift the lid you will see it is just pressed on the door. At least mine is. As far as the rear "Corvette" emblem; it is a kind of rubber/plastic and has little "nubs" that are pressed into the rear of the Corvette itself. Again, a plastic tool will pry it off. I purchased a set of plastic "pry" tools years ago and they come in handy for jobs such as these.

The emblem is stuck on by double sided tape. A little heat will take that off

There are two small nuts on mine that need to be removed, then its held on with a double sided glue. Best to use an old credit card or something to pry it up. Then a goop remover to get off the old glue and wash/clean it before applying the new one.
They do not last very long, I've already replaced one and it faded within a year spent in the garage.
