You guys inspired me. I removed the Stingray badges on the fenders and the Corvette script on the rear bumper cover. It looks so much cleaner without them. The V shaped flags are all you need to know it's a Corvette.
Thanks for the photos....now I know I don't want to remove the letters...
In this case, less is actually less..
Why not just take the Corvette emblems off too?
Nice post.
I took the lettering off as well. Looks really good.
And to answer your smartass question: Because there is an indentation under the corvette emblems.
You might want to consider using the Corvette carbon flash stingray. Fits your car well.
I think the Carbon Flash package goes good on my Shark Gray.
If they were the Chrome one's, would have probably removed them.
All personal choice though
Yep, bought the car used and they were like that. PO had not had the dealer straighten them. My lift is currently occupied with my C5 S/C project so I haven't had it up in the air to fix this. I tried before with my huge cheater bar and the tips barely budged. Went out and tried it again just now with considerably more force and they're within 1/32" to each other now. I will redo them when the lift is freed up.

The key is GENTLE heat, a heat gun may be too much (I know this for a fact, as I made THAT mistake).
