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) |

It's the same shape - I'm a newbie to Corvettes - what is an LS1?
I'm Googling it, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for the suggestion.

The engine type id for the '99. For instance the ZR-1 of the 1990's has
the LT5 while the other corvettes had LT1 or a LT4 in 96's with the 6
speed.

Thanks Bob I & LotzaLoot! I'll use LS1 emblems and not feel like I'm
putting bogus emblems on my car. The Wikipedia description of the C5 says:
'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.'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Corvette_C5
Thanks again guys!!

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.

I agree - that's why I solicited opinions here (and thank you for
yours). The previous owner did it- not me. I'll use the LS1 emblem to
cover the marks left as it does have an LS1 engine. This car is
spotless inside & out except the fender marks where the old emblems were
(white paint shows it even more). It was bugging the heck out of me...
Thanks again
