Adding 427 emblem to CF hood, & clear bra questions
Gave Tommy Jr my order this week for a Torch Red Z06, great experience so far. A couple of questions for those more in the know:
1) Does the template I saw in an older thread (I assume provided with the 427 emblems) work for the correct placement of the emblems on the Carbon Fiber hood, or is it only meant for the regular hood ? Has anyone used that template on the CF hood ?
2) If the hood is clear bra'ed, are the emblems then installed over the clear bra, or does the installer trim around the emblems (or any emblem, I've heard it's done both ways but can't confirm).
3) Tommy Jr said they use, I believe, Autobahn to due their clear bra's. Anyone have any experience with them ?

As far as the emblems, it would make sense to put the emblem on the car before the clear bra is installed. They can then cut around it.
Enjoy the new Z

the clear bra is installed first then the emblems over the top for seamless results. i removed my eblems and installed new ones after clear bra installation, its the right way. emblems are cheap. my install guy has them in stock and includes them in the price for clear bra.....

I have copied a photo set from a Range Rover Sport clear bra install that we did this year.
