How about shave them, but air brush them back on. I believe Z06Jim did it with his car and it looks AWESOME!!!

Or how about filling in the "CORVETTE" on the rear bumper and moving the trunk emblem to that location, like the C6s.

I like having the trunk emblem because I don't like to slam the hatch down and the emblem gives me a place to put my fingers to close it up without getting any smudges on the car. I could possibly see getting rid of the front, but I like the emblems.

I use the same hatch closing procedure. However, I think it looks awesome without the emblem. I'm just too lazy to take it off.

No. I've since removed the emblem from my exhaust plate as well. I am now emblem free.

You're the second person to say that to me this week. Does everyone here have a dial up connection and a 10" monitor or what? I'm on fiber optic and a 19" widescreen, so I don't notice it. I think some of you guys need to divert mod money to network upgrade money.
