side emblems
Im just wondering if the side emblems (3.0) are just stuck on with the adhesive tape or if there is a hole behind them.

Whats the easiest way to remove them?

they're just adhesive.

Get a length of fishing line and work it in behind the emblem. you can heat them up with a hair dryer to make it easier.

They are stick-on and a hair dryer will aid in prying them off.

don't try to pry them, you could damage the paint.

Just slide some fishing lien behind them and work it back and forth and they'll come right off. It's an old Corvette trick for removing body-side molding from Z06's.

For some, it's the easiest way to upgrade a 3.0 to a 4.4i for pocket change (j/k)
