I don't think he even removes the factory-installed air in his tires or oil in his engine!

At least this thread is about REMOVING badges, not adding them, like the Z51 badge.

Fishing line and dental floss work but tend to leave the rubbery adhesive which can be a PITA to get off.

I did take mine off right away so they may not have been really stuck down.
Excellent advice thank you!!

Geez, you remove the Corvette lettering and they give you a custom license plate. Only in California

I've been thinking of removing my side Stingray badges as well. There isn't one person I know (thats not a car person) that can figure out what it is. Most think its a guitar...

That's sad. I guess education is not what it once was.

I removed by side 'fish'. Used fishing line and WD40 for the residue that was left. Whole project took less than 45 minutes.

First side always takes longer (about 30 minutes). The other side took less than 15 minutes...

Is the "Corvette" in the Carbon Flash package non-chrome?

This is why you guys need to go with the all black mod. It just makes things easier.

Looks good; however, blackout your side markers and lug nuts to make it look even better.

I took mine off; they added clutter to otherwise clean lines. I'd be wary of a heat gun. I used dental floss to cut through the adhesive and then cleaned up the glue with citrus cleaner. Takes a bit of effort - maybe 10 minutes a side - but zero chance of damage!

20# fishing braid cuts many times faster than dental floss, use gloves.....

There are as many ways to remove it. They all work. Just take your time. I personally changed mine from chrome to carbon flash. I like the little logo if it's not sticking out as in shiny, but it is a nice touch in my opinion.

Couldn't agree more. Before/after on the rear of my car attached. Lights obviously ZO6 clears, garnish painted Shark Grey by RPI. Matte black emblem by me.
