Default C5 nose emblem

While cleaning my C5 coupe, the Corvette emblem on the nose came off. Does anyone know how this is attached? It looks like it had adhesive on it.

And there were no holes under it?

You can use 3M tape (cut it to fit) to re-attach it.

I even used in on the damn hood strip that always keeps lifting away. And, everybody knows that you gotta have this strip: It's so worth an extra 10-15 hp (just kidding).

Oh no... Thank YOU! I've gone back and forth with a couple of people about the existence of the holes at all... now I know for sure.

On a serious note, Good luck with your repair. Just keep in mind... if someone wants to steal the emblem and they can't get it removed easily... it's cheaper to replace the emblem, than it is to repaint the nose... Just my $.02

Dave. there are definitely 2 holes under there. That is the only reason I have a front emblem at all. There are no holes in the back though.

Ummm EG? There's one really big hole there that you missed covering up!!

On another note... what will happen to ones accent when one moves to Florida, after already having a Old England, then New England one??? (Did you pick up a bit of Russian on your trip there too?)

Does that make you fluent in multiple "languages"?

Ya'll know we talk PERFECT here in the sticks of Nebraska!!

Rock on man!!

It is attached with two sided tape. The two studs just sit into a recess in the fascia.

Regarding accent - it's already faded into almost insignificance. Most people that meet me spend a few minutes trying to place my accent but eventually give up. I've lived all over the world, so my "accent" was weird to begin with. It just keeps evolving... I sound like "Highlander" these days with a strange mixed up kind of accent

I love that see-thru hood. Bet it cost a pretty penny. Too bad about those two little holes in the bumper facsia.
