A Monumental Achievement!
After staring in the garage and (driving) our new vette (have had it two weeks) I decided to attempt my first mod addition. Although simple and not very technical (mostly due to the fact - I’m not mechanically-savvy) I nervously painted the Corvette emblem.
Thanks allegro for your guidance.
A monster created - after achieving this monumental feat & with the help of fellow member Patches, I also conquered the removal, cleaning, & reinstallation of the Blackwing. Is this a great country or what?

postscriptum: was the emblem that you painted a Type R emblem by any chance?

C5 Mods are like peanuts. You can't have just one.
And if you do just one stay away from the forum. It's more contagious than the common cold.

Way to go!!
