Default GS Fender Emblem Removal.....

I've searched for the removal and installation instructions for the GS Fender emblems, but haven't had any luck.

I bought some Cyber Gray GS emblems but I want to make sure I know the right process.....

Anyone have a link?

There was a thread on the subject and if I recall correctly you need to take some of the screws/pins out of the inner fender well, tire removed, to gain access to the nuts holding on the GS emblems.

Only if you can tell me how to install them! (haha) Got them from the Apsis booth at Bloomington Gold.

I'm just going to start by taking off the wheel and inner fender... I can figure it out.

I was just hoping that someone had a procedure documented to save me a little time....

I thought the Carbon Fiber ones felt heavy for being carbon fiber.

I'm pretty sure they just took the factory emblems and laid Carbon Fiber over them... They really looked cool though!

I like the "monochrome" look.....

Chrome gone.

A couple low-quality cell phone pics.

I'll get out the Canon and take some good pics later.

Looks good!

Lucky for you you have the convertible and not a coupe with the dry sump system. That's one reason I've been procrastinating on replacing mine.. I have big fists and Popeye forearms that need lots of space. May have to enlist the help of my 15 year old nephew for this one.
