My emblem is really faded ... I was curious if there is a good source for a replacement?

What is the procedure for this, is the old one held on by 2 mounts into holes on the body?

Please share if you know of a place, thanks

Ebay.

Madvet.com or Ecklers has these sometimes a good price can be found on ebay as well. Removal can be a chore its not just two nuts but adhesive underneath. I use thin gauge weed wacker line and GooGone to remove the adhesive remnents. Work the weed wacker line back and forth like a saw and it wont mar the paint. GC

What is it usually listed as " Gas Tank Corvette Emblem " ... are the 90's different than the other years?

So there are two bolts AND adhesive? Im guessing the bolts can be seen when the gas tank lid is up , lol ... I will look next time I fill up. I haven't noticed them before.

Just use RTV to reapply the new emblem?

What do you think about Corvette Central, reputable but pricey? ---

Thanks

I ordered new ones in the past. The new one will come with an adhesive backing covered with a thin sheet of plastic. I only attached it with the nuts and left the plastic sheeting on. When it comes time to wax all I need to do is take off the nuts, pop it off, wax and put it back on. It's neat and clean.

FYI
Be careful removing or tightening the lock-nuts on the emblem. The post is only plastic and can breakoff easily...been there, done that.

Is it the same procedure for the hood emblem? I see they sell them as "front and rear" sets ... I may as well get a new one on the front too

Thanks guys ---

Yes however because removing the nuts on the backside of the hood. Have a mag tool handy as the nuts tend to fall inside the hood lol

Also the new emblems are not threaded they are plastic posts or pins. Do not try to chase the original nuts you remove from your old emblem onto the posts or they will snap off. Go to ACE Hardware with emblem in hand to get the right size chase nuts that cut a thread into the posts as they tighten. GC
