Decided to just bite the bullet yesterday and MAKE time to put these new fender decals on.
I think they look pretty darn good!
Wasn't too tough putting them on. Heated up the old decals with Connie's hair dryer, then used sewing thread to kind of slice through the glue behind the decal. Slow going, as the thread broke quite a few times. Maybe something thicker and stronger would be better. The only time I cussed the entire time was when I was trying to get that blasted child-proof cap off of the container of GM adhesive remover. Is that really necessary? Honestly, if some kid were to take the cap off of that stuff, sniff it, and think "Gee, that smells good enough to drink!", (which it DEFINITELY DOES NOT!) well perhaps it is best for humanity if his or her genes aren't going to contribute to future generations.
Anyway, I think I hurried the glue removal from the fender more than I should have. I didn't realize that if you just soaked the glue remnants with that stuff, it will practically fall right off of the fender. I marked the old decals with masking tape, and put the new ones one in exactly the same places.
So they look like basically stock decals. Only someone looking closely would notice the difference. And quite likely they would think that my car is some sort of special edition Corvette from GM. "Blue Devil", perhaps.....
