For all you chicklet lovers, check out his video. http://channel.nationalgeographic.co...s/video_3.html
It shows a an actual chicklet being applied to a z06 at the GM assembly plant. The magic happens at 3.55 minutes into the video.

Took 'em Off!
Well-
We took them off- the car is only a day old with us- supposedly built 12/3 but the door says 11/07 so dunno when it was built but they weren't on there too tight..
It was a 2 person job though- The floss wouldn't budge the adhesive and kept breaking until I put tension on the emblem with my fingernails and my dad "sawed" with the floss. Cut like butter then. A few bloody fingernails later they were off and I rubbed the majority of the adhesive off with my thumb...
Pretty funny that they have an arrow on the adhesive so they are installed right side up.
110% improvement!

one of the first things I did to my C6, it is just a much cleaner look. it stands out too much on a dark color IMO

GM used similar badges in the 70's on lots of regular cars and if they wanted another badge on a Corvette it should have been the Corvette flags or an emblem that reads Corvette. I dont like them at all.
