Default Clips for bumper

Hello all,

After receving a scratch on the front right side I need to remove my bumper to have it painted, but I have two questions before doing so and hope that made someone is in the position of helping me out:
1. Is there any risk, if ever so slightly, to damage the clips for the bumper when removing the screws and lifting the bumper off, and can these be purchased anywhere, ideally from Corvette Central? Part#? (8i have been looking but unable to find)
2. I need to remove the hood emblema, any tips or precautions when doing so? I might buy a new one to attach, but I am a little bit worried about the alignment... any thoughts?

Hope y'all are having a wonderful summer!

Rgds from Sweden
Erik

The emblem on the front bumper uses 2 pins for alignment.

I got mine a few weeks ago from Wholesale GM Parts Online for $86 plus shipping. OEM 50th Ann Emblem for a 2003, p/n 19207387, not after-market.
