Stingray Emblem alignment stencil
Rainy day - thinking about warmer weather when I can change over my emblems to the carbon flash black ones. Thought I would try to create a stencil/template to help with the alignment of the Stingrays. Used the new ones to trace an outline on a manila folder. Taped it to my wife's cutting board and cut it with a utility knife. Test fit on car - perfect!
But now, I have to figure out how to remove the existing emblem with the stencil on the car. Maybe it will work. Just wanted to post a potential tip. Will try to remember to post results.

Painter's tape was my original plan and its simpler than this. I was bored 
Know about the stingray not being parallel with ground. The one that I am most concerned (but not much) is the "corvette" script on the rear.
Thanks.

Carbon Flash Emblems
I just switched my chrome emblems out for the carbon flash emblems.
I used kite string to run behind the chrome emblems to remove them after I used a blow dryer to heat it up a little.
The worst part of the job was removing the old adhesive.
I used painters tape around the stingrays.
The front was easy because of the indent.

I used vinyl tape strip to cover the chrome strip on the grille but then I had a very good friend switch out my grille to a Z06 grille!

Painters tape does work very well.
