I have new Jake Chicklets. Is there a template for mopunting them anywhere? I installed them and they do not look perfectly vertical.

I removed mine... but think a tape measure and some painter's tape would be an easy way to create a "template" for mounting the new chicklets...?

I measured my friend's vette and then did the measuring and taping off as said above.

Mine's white and I want to get rid of the chicklets entirely, I figure if GM needs advertising space they can rent it elsewhere, brings me to a quick question though, are they just affixed with adhesive or am I going to have a hole to fill when I go to yank them?

Adhesive only. No holes to fill. Just clean the paint where the adhesive originally was.

grab a tape measure and just stick the things on there. I think if i worked at a dealer and someone asked to make a cardboard template of where to put the chicklets I would probably laugh them out the door.

I like them also but I hear they are not licensed and posting who sells then is a bad idea

A while back, there was someone making the jake chicklets, but GM contacted him, basically asking him to stop making them, as they had a copyright on it, and if he continued, they would come after him, so he stopped making them. They were awesome looking!
I got him to make me some stainless polished Z51 emblems (originals) for my car, and they are fantastic looking.
