Front Corvette Emblem Removal
Don't crucify me, but did a search and couldn't find anything about this. What does the c6 look like w/o the front corvette emblem? Is the emblem glued on or did they drill through the bumper.
My emblem isn't water tight and moisture is collecting in it.

...The rear one comes right off with some fishing line, but the front one would require you to fill two holes and to repaint the bumper to fix it....have you tried a leaf blower on the front emblem after you wash your car? That should get rid of the water underneath...

You should be able to take them both off with fishing line. The two front pins are for location help only, they are not screws or bolts. If you start at the outside edges on the front one, you should be able to work around the pins enough to get the line through the middle to finish the job. Heating up the emblem really helps, so either do this in the sun on a hot day, or work with a hair dryer to soften the glue......

Here's a real quick job showing no front emblem. It's not the greatest image to begin with but it was a straight-on shot.

I wish they didn't have the guide pins. The Clearbra installer took my front one off to install the clearbra and I liked the look better without the emblem - except for the holes.
