While I have debadged or ordered some of my cars in the past 'naked' I believe I read that some if not all of the C7 badges are countersunk in the body. Removing them therefor might not result in the effect you would like.

 

Trust me.

Front

Rear

 

You had stated that "only the rear flag is countersunk", I just wanted to be sure that folks knew that both flag emblems were. The Corvette script is not, nor are the Stingray emblems but anyone wanting to remove the flags has a fair amount of work to do.

 

Thanks for clarifying talon90

 

I kept the side stingray badges and the front and rear corvette flag, as it's the new C7 version. They look great on the car. I did request the dealership not put their own on when doing the make ready. That was a good move

 

Hate dealer stickers.

 

Thanks talon90!

 

Here are a couple of pictures of the rear being "Corvette lettering" debadged. Badge removal in the pictures below is easily by following glen e's first post above.

And the one below also "fender StingRay" badge removed.

 

Yes make sure you tell dealer not to put any dealer stickers on C7. That was first order of business for me. I also told them to dealer add-ons. When I did my financing I noticed they tried adding something like $600 for some clear coat or pinstriping or something like that. I told them I custom ordered the car and do not want any dealer add-ons. The guy was like "well we put it on all the cars when they come in". My reply was, "well, the car isn't here yet, wont be here for a week and you wont be putting anything on this car" So he took it off.

 

I have had a few salesman's jaw drop as they were showing me the new car, I was peeling off their sticker with my nails in front of them...I then just hand it to them and politely ask them to throw it away for me...

 

I plan on black plastidip to blacken the side Stingrays. Think they look cool but the chrome is cheesy.

 

x2..black out the corvette letters too -- a nice look

 

Sorry,but I will leave the dealer advertisement on my car!

 

What is the black plastidip product? Do you apply that with the badges on?

Nice build list. Cold air intake is high on my list. Am a HP junkie, moving from a Viper to a Vette. Can't wait to see the performance mods coming out next spring. My car moved to 3300 on Friday, crossing my fingers I can pick it up before Thanksgiving.

 

once you get your VIN, you can approx when it will be built - on Oct 8th the last car off the line was 3499 - add 130 to each day and you can tell when yours gets done....

 

With the c7 convertible hopefully soon to be built how will that affect the 130 production rate and how many of those will be convertibles?

 

no idea , obvious this is an immediate exercise....

 

I have always reguested dealers not put their advertisement stickers on, looks horrible

 

Any advice on how to remove the interior "Corvette Stingray" badge on the center consol? I bought one of the new ones with engine specs on it and not sure how to remove the old one.

It is held in with posts and clips out. Try prying a little with your fingernail in a corner, and don't scratch your dash. Did that work for you?

 

here's an update to using dental floss- this stuff works twice as quick, watch your fingers it can cut flesh...

 

Question has anyone taken the badges off and knew how to put them back on ? I would assume you would have to put the adhesive back on ? What would be good adhesive to put back on ?

 

3m VHB tape adhesive...what the pros use... at amazon

if you are going to mod, you need a few packs of these and 100 alcohol packs for cleaning surfaces ---from the drug store....

 

Has anyone de-badged the "Corvette" on a C7 with factory applied racing stripes??

No I haven't, but if you intend to, be very careful, If I were to take the "Corvette" letters off, I wouldn't pull on them. I may suggest using a hand held hair dryer, set on the high speed to soften up the sticky stuff a bit. I have used fishing line filament on other applications with success, but not what is stuck on a decal, which the racing stripes are. Good luck.

 

Thats called WD-40...made of fish oil and does an amazing job removing emblems.

 

There is another option regarding the Stingray logo

I saw this at Bloomington Gold on the Pacific Design Edition. It appears to be carbon fiber. I think its a listed option.

 

My dealer convinced me to get chrome badging on my night race blue 2015 C7 order, but now I'm not so sure after reading these posts. Are the other options carbon fiber or black lettering? Does this just affect the "Corvette" lettering and Stingray on the sides?
