Removing that and the silly "Stingrays," even though all were black on my black '18, was the first thing I did when I got home with it from Kerbeck's.

I just looked and haven't a single pic, though. I could take a really dirty one since I've not had time to wash it in forever, but it might inform you better as to how it looks to see chrome and/or black script missing on some other colors where it would normally standout far more than with mine.

(btw, my young granddaughter painted the Stingrays blue and purple, then reglued them onto a push scooter or something; far better use imho)

IMO, looks way cleaner without "Corvette" on the back and do you really need to tell anyone that it's a Corvette?

There are a bunch of posts on here. I used dental floss and 3M adhesive remover:

I like the chrome script on mine, but I will say taking the script off does look good too. Just depends on your tastes.

Never thought about removing the rear script because I like seeing the word “Corvette”. That said, this is the first i have seen it removed and I must admit it looks clean.

i considered removing the stingray emblems on the fenders and replacing them with the old school stingray script, pictured below.

If you take the Corvette script off, how will they know it's a Corvette?
