I finally get to come to this forum. I have a 1981, 1990 (which is for sale) and I just purchased a 2000 FRC Pewter. Much different from the C4. I am looking forward to your wisdom on this car as I am not too mechanical so I'm sure I'll have questions although I have learned to look up old posts first.

BTW, I will be changing my profile picture.

Default Nice ride

Welcome to the C5 side of life. Those wheels look preety good. If you like 'em, keep 'em. But be warned, the Z06 boys will eat your lunch if you don't get Z06 styled wheels, remove the badges, and all the other Z06 specific regalia!

Enjoy the car the way you want it!

I'm looking to keep everything BUT the Z06 badges. Any ideas as to how to take them off with out messing the paint up?

Welcome!!
Very nice, clean looking FRC.
I'm pretty sure you can remove those badges in the same manner that many have removed their body side moldings (BSM). So do a search on BSM removal for the specifics...
