Question Another emblem idea..suggestions please!!

I bought an 03 victory red SS and the monte carlo signatures and the ss's on trunk and on sides are red too!
Looks real dumb..Probrably look better black or chrome..But
1. Can i take off the trunk one woth no holes underneath?
2. I heard the side ones do have holes..is this true?
3. My plan was to get the aluminum big ss's from ebay ($24 for 3) put new bigger SS where (mont carlo ss) was on the trunk,leaving the red bowtie...and the side (monte carlo ss's) weel id remove them and move to both front side quarter panel.
4. OR I would place the larger SS to cover the holes (if any) on rear side quarter panels and trunk if nessacary..

Thanks in advance -Newbie owner

All 3 are on with double-sided sticky tape.

Just take a blow dryer and warm it up, then use dental floss and see-saw it off pulling away from the car slowly and carefully.

Or you can try 3M remover.

Just the door moldings have holes.

Not the emblems.

All SS's and wording monte carlo removed..2 hrs! Only rear red bowtie left.. what a cleaner look!! may put new or available aluminum SS's on upper side of front fenders and remount the red or aluminum SS on one lower left side of trunk ..

Now what to do about that ugly shield on front hood..anything available to fit in its place once removed?..Makes the front shot of car look like grandmas oldsmobile or something cheap..Dont think i want the stickem grille (cant bear to paint behind it black..ahhh) The designers really had their heads up their a**** on these ensignia issues..such a minor thing..BUT

Look at the SLP grille / Tony Stewart Grille.

Just take the Badge off the same way, and stick on one of those grilles. Instant different look.

Have you thought about using the 06-07 SS badges? They are white with chrome outline...The Cobalt SS badges look good too (I think they are the same, or maybe a tad smaller)

Yes Cobalt has slightly smaller badges.

I say keep the badging off, it's a clean look (and easier to wax)

And just look at windshield / 3rd brake light vinyl
