C5 / Z06 Question

I recently purchased a white 99 C5 hardtop. The previous owner had applied Z06 logos on the front fenders just behind the front wheels. The dealership I bought the car from removed the logos and now I'm left with residue in the shape of the logo that is impossible to remove - trust me...impossible. Heat, chemicals, etc...nothing works. It's not too noticeable, but I sure notice it. I could 'fix' this by putting the Z06 logos back onto the fenders. Should I? Thanks for your opinions...



FYI - the car has lots of after market Z06 accessories - vent screens, an intake behind the door, etc, so essentially this is a Z06 body (5.7L engine)

'The transmission was moved to the rear of the car to form an integrated, rear-mounted transaxle assembly which was connected to the all-new LS1 engine.'

Even though it looks easy to put them on over an already existing pattern you want to be careful, a little off and they will look like crap. Stretch strips of masking tape between two repeatable points so you can repeat location both sides, vertically and horizontally. Any marks required can be put on the tape with a small relief for the oval to clear. Tape location can be tweaked easily but the emblems won't move very easy once you stick them on.

that's so tacky...buying a C5 Corvette, then applying the Z06's decals/accessories to make it look like it's something it's not.

not that i have anything against the C5, or C6...but just don't make something out that's not what it is.
