Removing Chevy Emblem from the back of my 2LT - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

derin11 · 05-28-2009, 01:45 PM

Hey guys. Just got my Camaro 2 days ago, and really want to remove the Back Chevy emblem. Can anyone please tell me step by step on how to do it? it seems like their are plugs or something holding it in their.

Thanks

If it is done with adhesive, which most are today, you run a piece of DENTAL FLOSS behind the emblem then remove the residue with Goo-Gone. Simple, Fast, and Cheap.

You may need to make a handle up to anchor he dental floss to so you can get some leverage.

Prepare to do some body work.
Or leave it alone.

rolnslo · 05-28-2009, 01:57 PM

There are two holes in your trunklid that will need to be filled once you remove the emblem. There's a picture of it around here somewhere...

Vash · 05-28-2009, 01:58 PM

Why?

nards444 · 05-28-2009, 01:59 PM

there are holes behind it dont do it

mwoodengr · 05-28-2009, 02:00 PM

Take a look at this thread. The car is shown with the bow tie removed and there are two holes, i am guessing for mounting.

So, you can take it off, but how will you fill the holes?

KJS · 05-28-2009, 02:02 PM

What are you planning to put in its place?

derin11 · 05-28-2009, 02:02 PM

ok well.. If I pull it off are the 2 holes clips or do they need to be screwed off

The Dark Knight · 05-28-2009, 02:06 PM

Hahaha! I hope he didn't do it...then come on here and say...how to put it back on? lol

WHen he could have seen the pics before if he checked the site religiously!

Vash · 05-28-2009, 02:11 PM

Let a pro body shop fill the holes up.

just wait until aftermarket companies start making replacement trunks and hoods. it'll be a bit of money, but you'll more than likely be able to get carbon fiber.

Musclebee · 05-28-2009, 02:40 PM

A body shop can take it off, but yes there are holes.

Nova65 · 05-28-2009, 02:53 PM

1 word....BONDO!

sabrescamaro · 05-28-2009, 03:08 PM

I think it looks ugly when you don't have anything there, but that's just me. And I like to wear my bowtie -- loud and proud hah. It's definitely not worth it to have those holes.

camarossrs2150 · 05-28-2009, 06:03 PM

chew some gum .and you know where to put it when your done chewing

what about some ss emblems in there .maybe something from the 60s might fit

derin11 · 05-28-2009, 10:58 PM

where do I get the SS symbol for the back that will fit in both holes

I've not seen any out yet that will fit the '10. They will come out eventually but you may have to wait a couple months.

Davis · 05-29-2009, 09:09 AM

Pop it off and put these on.

Not sure if it will look perfect, but for $15 it might be worth a shot.

*edit: Oh wait you have an LT, right? Don't do it then.

Do a google search for LT emblems maybe?

Richochet83 · 05-29-2009, 09:17 AM

I want to see the car

what are the measurements for the ss symbols .are they for the truck because they will be to small

efpardo · 05-29-2009, 09:48 AM

Personally, I like the stock emblem. But I imagine you’ll find something cool to cover those holes.

No idea. I found that link in another thread. You might want to contact the seller for the dims.

I think I might just paint both bowties (front and rear) black where the gold is now, leaving the chrome edges. You could do that with any body color and it might look pretty good.

If any of you photoshop wizards out there read this, can you whip up a couple?
