Difference between Vette and Cammy V flag emblem? - Page 4 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

3M Emblem Tape. Have some patience and a razor blade to cut it around the edges of the Emblem. That's what I did anyway. You can get that tape at Autozone or any Auto parts Store. It's not called emblem tape, something similar... I can check it at lunch.

They are brushed aluminum and have doublesided tape to attach them.

I think they better update them, we 312 HP. Not 304.

To the OP. The difference is the flags are reversed. The checkered flag is on the left on the C6 emblems and the camaro emblems it's on the right.

Hack saw. It only takes a few seconds each, it's pretty soft metal. I thought of trying to stuff the inset portion with something to create more contact area, but in the end I decided not to and just make sure the tape bonded to the edges, and it's been on the car for three months without falling off.

Is there a particular size of 3M tape that is best for this application?

If you guys had grown up in the mid 60's and 70's you would think those V/8 emblems are way way out of place. Do you know those flags were on any 327 or larger full size Biscayne, Bel-Air, Impala, Caprice, Brookwood station wagon (lol), etc.
Sorry but they just don't belong IMO.
You should go with a modern flag emblem.

Got mine from Amazon. Search "Camaro V Flag". $12.50 each. They're metal not plastic.

A dremel works well for cutting off the posts.

The 376 stands for 376ci that would be a 6.2L a 3.6L woud be 220ci. You can change it to 323HP, if you just put just 323 you may have explain it all the time.

I would put 3.6 or 220, most likely 3.6. V8 guys some times have hard time with the calculations of CI to L.
