Chrome Emblems
The quality is excellent, from eBay
This is really good stuff. Just let it do the work
Before
I used a .015 feeler gauge with a rounded end to separate the foam under the flag to avoid scratches. Pulled off with a little effort. Soaked the residue with the 3M for about 10 minutes and used a plastic bondo spreader to remove the foam. A soaked rag removed the remaining adhesive. Let the remover do the work. A light coat of adhesion promoter was applied.
After. Front and rear took about 30 minutes total. The replacements are the exact size of the originals. A faint outline was still visible from the original so exact placement was easy.
pardon the bugs

Okay, everyone has to just stop! You guys keep finding ways for me to part with my money. 
That looks so cool, I have to have 3!
Nice find!
But does anyone know where I buy the "V" on the chrome "CORVETTE" font license cover. I think someone broke into my garage and stole mine. Yes just the "V".

Did you have to bend the emblem at all to get the very tips to fit flush with the front bumper cover? It seems like there's just a little shape to the panel and it's not totally flat?
Who has the best deal on those chrome emblems? Are there any forum vendors carrying them?
Thanks so much!
