Default '94 Z28 side emblem relocation?

Thinking about relocating the "Z28" emblems on the front quarter panels to the panels right behind the door jambs level with the door handle. How do you guys think it'll look? Or I was thinking maybe the black pillar thing between the rear window and door windows but I'd have to paint the emblem then seeing as how you cant really see black on black lol.

Anyone else move their emblems? let's see em!

Also, what's the easiest/safest way to remove the emblem and prep it for reattachment?

As far as removing it, try 'cutting' through the adhesive with fishing line or dental floss. It's the easiest way I know of to remove the emblems without scratching the paint or breaking the emblem.

Hmm alright.

Hows about plastering them back on?

hey it might sound crazy but it's safer for the paint than a razor blade or a screwdriver!

to reattach the emblems you can use 3M Plastic and Emblem Adhesive

Try some double sided tape......it works wonders. or the stuff she said ...didnt see that part.
The removal she is dead on about , very simple and while hard on the fingers ( so get gloves or man up either way ) it is the easiest/ safest way to do it.

Now that I think about it before I take the emblems off, does anyone know if they're flexible at all or is it hard molded plastic that'll snap into pieces? Like if I try and adhere it to a slightly concave or convex part of the car will it give a little and conform or just shatter?
