Replace SS Emblem on grill?
I tried searching but it's not working for me, so I apologize if this has been asked before and if there is already a thread for it if someone could guide me there, that would be great too.
I bought my 2014 2ss/rs convertible a few months ago and noticed on the front SS emblem some of the red paint is coming off. I want to replace it with new so it doesn't look half assed. Yes, I'm a little particular with the details LOL Can someone tell me how to go about replacing that? I know it's got a clip behind it - do I need to remove all of that or is there a way I can get the emblem off of what's holding it and stick a new one on? Thanks for any guidance you can give. |

Mine took a stone hit and chip it a bit. I re-painted mine. You need a steady hand though. A lot cheaper then buying the whole clip & emblem set up or even just the emblem it self.

The dental floss trick does the best but take note that there are alignment pins behind it you have to work around. I replaced my buddies and the hardest part was getting the new one to stick even though I cleaned the bracket really good and yes it was warm with very little humidity. A tip is to add a few small drops of good adhesive to the 3M tape side of the new badge before installing. Not a hard task just take your time with it.

I have a 2014 and my badges chipped (front and back). The dealership replaced them under warranty.

That emblem is a real pay in the butt to remove.

Just use a small body panel tool and privately slowly from the edges and it pops out. Nothing real difficult involved.
