Emblem coming off
Got it one week ago (built 9/22) DSOM is really a fantactic color-just makes you feel good looking at it. BUT, the front emblem seems to be coming off- Each "wing" is sticking up-the passenger side more so-anyone else notice this on their car? 
Otherwise its doing great!! James

Good news
I think they are just glued on and can easily be replaced. Some folks take them off, clean off the glue and leave it off. I think it would replace it rather than try and reglue it if I wanted it fixed.

I told you !
This is the reason that you don't buy
the first year of a new model from
General Motors / Corvette. You should
have at least waited til 2006.
Sorry guys, . . . I had to say it before
you know who did. Ha ! Ha ! Funny Funny.
Have a great evening.

The emblems have two pins to place it in the correct position so if you take it off, there are two holes to deal with.

Let's say everyone followed your advice. O.K.???
Nobody ever buys the first year. No sales, period. Where do you think the car line will go???? Plant gets shut down, cars sit waiting for some fool to buy them.
Get real...a loose emblem, one with adhesive that didn't stick???
Go to a dealer, they order another, install it under warranty, you glue the first one on your tool chest....you do have a tool chest don't you??

You are absolutely correct saying DSOM gets noticed. All positive comments.

Since the honorable c6corvette was referring to "you know who, Ha Ha" I had assumed my reply would be considered directed to "you know who". As I did not make that kind of direct reference again, it only goes to your question....yes those are my initials or at least what I often refer to myself....BFD: Big, Forgetful, and Dumb
Any other questions????????

I think that most of the emblems are heated before they are applied. The heat activates the adhesive on the emblem. For some reason, you's might not have been put on too hastily. You might try taking a hair dryer and holding it over the emblem for a few seconds or so, and then try pushing down the corners. The paint is pretty resiliant, but don't hold the hair dryer there too long. You don't want the paint getting too hot.

I'm waiting to order an '06 because "you know who" told me I should.
Actually, like many others, I'm holding out to get a good look at the Z in Jan before a final dec on what to order.
Good luck getting yours soon.
