Video: How I removed badges
I have been searching for a video on how to remove the badges from the car and replace with black carbon flash badges. There were none specific to the corvette. So I made one of me changing mine. Enjoy!

Thanks for the how-to vid. If I didn't already have the Carbon flash emblem option on my C7, I would have done exactly what you did with aftermarket. The Carbon flash looks great.

jairmeeg, Thanks for the video. Two questions, please forgive my ignorance. Did you use a household hair dryer or is that some sort of heat gun? If it's a heat gun, what type?
Was the string you used something special or just household string. Again, any recommendation very much appreciated.
I'm not going to change to black, just very interested in removing the fish.
Thanks

Simple. 10 lb fishing line. Cut long, 2 foot pieces and get it behind whatever you want off. Wrap around fingers and go back and forth with a little force. You can takeep off the front or back flags in maybe 2 or 3 minutes!

Excellent preparation and application-only comment is I would have pressed down on the emblem/fish with a little more effort and made sure I pressed on all of the areas in making sure it sticks on the car forever.

Thanks for all the kind comments. There were no videos for me to go off of so I gave it my best. So far so good.

Very good video - I like your method of installing the side emblems.
