Anyone know what holds the badges on the front and back? Any holes under them or normal adhesive? I know it's a near sin but I prefer debadging my Vettes, they don't need anything detracting from the beautiful lines.

Why would you want to get rid of the 2 new restyled corvette insignas?

I could see if it had badges all over like some Toyota pickups, but we only have 2...only 2 and they look perfect! IMO

Both have mounting holes...
I agree with taking off the rear emblem...it's too "busy" back there as it is. The discreet "Corvette" is enough.

yes there are two holes in the front, i assume to guide the emblem and make it straight. Its applied with an adhesive. If you take the emblem off you most likely have to buy a new one since the adhesive will be warn away. im not sure about the rear but i assume its the same.

They add a really nice touch. I think they look great.

I agree, I like them. Good luck with the removal if you go with it. I think the holes left behind might be tricky to finish up.
