The rear is easy, peel it off and clean up the adhesive residue.
In the front you will find 2 holes in the fascia under the emblem.
If you remove it, you'll have a little fill, sand, and paintwork to deal with.

Debadging?
Hmmm, if you fill in the rear indents, the front indents and the airbag indents... sand the caliper letters and the airbridge emblem... remove the front emblem and the rear emblem... fill in the steering wheel emblem and the hood liner emblem...
How's everyone gonna know its still a vette? : )

Love the emblems and need to get a battery cover and put one on there too!!
Take the emblems off?? No way!!!
Seriously TruUndrtkr, if you like it, cool. It's your car and you can do as you wish, huh? If all of our cars were identical, it wouldn't be much fun now would it?? Rock on dude!!

Anybody want to buy some emblems?
BTW, rear only ... front emblems have positioning pegs ... If you don't know it's a Vette without the emblems ... you need to get out more often.

Here are some pics
My car was rear-ended and had front end damage - so i was able to do both at the same time (remove all emblems, fill holes and fill rear letters)
It took a while for the rear to grow on me, but i love it now...

If you have the CASH.... ANYTHING is possible...
Notice how the reflection in the pic shows a "flags type" figure about where it should be on the rear deck... Is that a "ghost image" Or just the flags banner you have in your garage on the opposite wall...
Nice wax job!!
Spooooooky!!

As for the gas door, too much work for such a little return on looks. And behind the license plate it too low, where else could it go to put it out of sight? I have thought about relocating it, I haven't come up with a solution, let alone an easy one.

My opinion is it's very good to do, because you will make the car lighter weight by saving a couple of oz., & also more aerodynamic. Your car will be much faster
