Oh No not fender badges!
They prove or show anything other than some vanity. They
should be called Vanity Badges.

Got the Contributing Memberships stuff finally worked out and made up a thread as a sort of "How-To" to help people figure out how to participate. So if you need help figuring it out, here's the thread you need to take a look at -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3581 Thank you, everyone! Rich Z.

Sorry, missed this post.
I got them in and they look EXCELLENT! Haven't taken pictures of them yet, much less installed them. But they look REALLY sharp.
The guy I got them from is Austin Barnett at http://www.vetteorama.com. Email at custom@vetteorama.com. He'll make whatever badges you want. :thumbsup:

No I have not heard the car but I do not expect to see the badges when the motor is running. I figure the only way you will be able to read the badges are when it is parked, so from that standpoint it will be subtle. I am sure once the key is turned the subtleness is done!

Decided to just bite the bullet yesterday and MAKE time to put these new fender decals on.
I think they look pretty darn good! :thumbsup:
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..... :hehehe:
