That looks great. How did you get the old ones off (tooth floss?). Looks especially nice with your brake calipers and wheels. Check out my thread on tinting your side markers, I think that would really look nice.

Got any pics or specs on that Z06?

Thank! I really like them...i think it makes the look. Here's a pic of the back:



The Z06 has headers, tune and a catback. It put out 482 rwhp

Looks good...I got three of the new emblems right after I got the car...Jason posted some pics and I thought they looked good on his (same color as mine)...When it came time to take off the old badges, I decided liked the old badges better than the new...

For those who don't know, Nalley the forum sponser will sell 3 new emblems for $25 shipped...I was able to sell my unused emblems on ebay this past summer for like $68...Not a bad little profit...lol

Now all you gotta do is get those nasty yellow side markers off.

$25 for three is a great price. Not sure what Nalley is actually supplying and I'm not making any implications but there are people selling these on e-bay quite inexpensively and they are not genuine Jag. They don't look as good as the originals. I just purchased a complete new set of 3 from a Jag dealership for $26 each and they look just like the old one's on the car.

FYI...as concerns removing the old one's, tooth floss is one way to go but I've found WD40 and some gentle prying with a nylon trim tool to be most effective. Just need to remember to place the tip of another nylon tool or rag under the badge opposite to the side you're prying on so it doesn't dig into the paint.

A hot summer day, heat gun or hair dryer makes removing the old emblems easier...Good old gasoline on a cloth will remove the leftover adhesive and the leftovers will evaporate unlike wd40...I would also recommend heating up the back of the new emblems to increase the bond...

I use goo gone with good results, then a clay bar.

Dental floss and Goo Gone is the best way to go. Gasoline I think is too harsh to be rubbing on your paint. Ever seen a car that gets gas spilled down the side below the gas filler the paint is usually either stripped of the clear or almost has paint coming off. The orange goo gone worked awesome for me. If you pick a hot day it will make things alot easier.

Love the new style R's. Went sorta the same way with mine but they are vinyl and black. Definitely looks better then the box R's.

Alright, gasoline and hair dryers, now we've got a party!
