Default Trunk Badge replacement?

I was washing my Z06 yesterday and I noticed the black flags side of hte trunk emblem is missing!

I only need the black flags part, but I doubt you can buy that by itself.

Does anyone know where to get a new emblem from and the best way to remove/reattach the new one?

Thanks

Well I suppose its glued on. Now if it is using the same glue used to hold the BSM's to the doors then I'd try applying a little heat (maybe just holding a hot light bulb close to it), then prying up an edge (maybe not) and use fishing line to cut through the glue.

That's how I got my BSM's off.

Should see a .000000000000000000001 difference in 1/4 times LOL.

To the OP, check out your local dealer for a whole new emblem.

IMO - If you can't glue it back on, just it leave it off... it's much cleaner looking without it.
