Cool sounds good! Thanks! Fishing line for the rear bowtie? Is it as simple as it sounds?

Tried the fishing line way, big pain in the butt. The glue/adhesive remains and then you spend 20 minutes cleaning. Best way I found and it takes only minutes with no clean up afterwards. Hair dryer on med heat, use a plastic tool (or credit card) and gently pry an edge of the bowtie or letters, let the heat hit where you are starting to lift. You will see the adhesive stick to the back of the bowtie, nothing will be left on the car. If it starts to stick to the car, slow down on the lifting, should take five minutes tops, or about two minutes per letter if you debadge the Camaro letters on the sides.
The bezels, Plasti-Dip all the way. You're getting the best of both worlds. If you ever want to go back to stock, it peels off. Very very durable and will last several years easily. I bought black replacement ones for mine, but could've saved $$ if I'd known about Plasti dip at the time.
I'm going to blacken my ZL1 Badges today using Plasti-dip. Dipyourcar has great how to videos on Plasti-dip.
