if you use fishing line, make sure you buy the plastic kind, not the metal kind

 

What I did was just get a hair dryer and heat up the glue, then use a plastic ice scrapper and get under the bowtie and just slowly pull upwards. Didn't get one scratch

 

ok I took of the bowtie the other day and I used fishing line I got small little scratches all over where the bowtie was. I need to buff it out so I need to go and buy one or borrow my friends.

 

I'm adding some emblems to mine.
Doc

 

I shaved mine...



Someone said I should put my A from my C O B A L T together with my SS symbol on the back so I know which end is which....

I'm looking for the old Blue Bow Ties to put on my car though...

 

lol, ASS... i like that. i'm currently looking for one of the older red chevy emblems that are just the outline with no center to put where my keyhole is. so the keyhole is in the center of the emblem. i also thought about painting the chevy emblem that i already took off red and putting it over the keyhole to hide the lock. i want to get the lock shaved but don't have the money yet.

 

ebay is your friend....lol

Anyone know what size the bow on the front is? and how big the whole is for the key in the trunk?

 

LSPower05, where did you get that third brake light cover, could you PM me...thanks.

 

Yeah, I'd also like to know where you got that. Is it easy to install?

 

yeah ive heard dental floss is the best to use belive it or not cause credit cards and fishing line risk scratching the paint

 

ebay i believe.

 

Yeah, just checked ebay and they have a bunch. They are pretty cheap too. I am gonna try and make my own though. I didn't know they go on the outside, i thought they were bulb inserts.

 

nah, they're just vinyl overlays.

 

whats the point of taking the chevy logo off? it just makes the keyhole stand out more. i wouldnt take it off unless i was having the keyhole shaved. and forget it with that crap you stick onto the keyhole to "hide" it. then it looks like your car has an outtie bellie button.

 

i agree, but the keyhole covers do look good on th doors though.

 

I Used the Clear Balistics Lens on my Mil Issued ERO Visor!!






PS:
I think i might call some local State Troopers and report "my cobalt " Stolen and give out your guys plates.. and watch the fun insue... lol.. jk.. but that would be fun..

 

I read through this thing and decided to use dental floss. First I wrapped it around the badge from my dealership and that thing popped right off. I couldn't figure why it was so hard for you guys. Then...I got to the bowtie. After 3 failed attempts, I finally gripped my fingers under the bowtie and yanked it off. A little gas & an ice scraper took off the glue and left it looking like it never had a bowtie

I like Co-Yellow-Balts Idea- I may do something like that but put the L S under the keyhole

 

yeah it took me about 10 - 20 mins with a blow dryer, plastic putty spatula (sp.?), and some goo-gone. oh and wax the spots afterwards to cover any type of scratches which were very limited in my case, i might to the chevy emblem tomarrow.

 

check this emblem change out boys...

 

Very nice, but isnt that a user name already on here?

 

Just a tip from me, i read this post and used a hair dryer. It SUCKED, it heated up the gooey crap and it took 30 min to get off. Later, i went to take of my COBALT letters and just used fishing line, the gooey crap lifted right off. You might want to try this. Just my
$.02

 

Fishing line and alot of it because it breaks so much. Have to double and triple the fishing line. Then wax, wax, wax... to get the marks off

 

LSpower05, how did you make that third brake light say cobalt? looks nice!

 

I think I might do this this weekend. I'm not a fan of all the stuff on the back. I will probably leave the side badges though.

 

See now I think that would be cool. Get my handle/nick done as a badge across the center. HUmmm.. that is an idea.
