88 IROC-Z Rocker Emblems/Decals

Helly everybody,

I orderd, what I hoped to be emblems, some way to overpriced rocker and rear bumper decals from ClassicIndustries.

Returning them and ask for a refund is gonna be a pain in the *** since I live in The Netherlands, I probably have to deal with these decals/stickers.

My question is, how do I replace this??? And where can I find the plastic housings where the decals will put into?

I hope the picture explains enough.

Tias.

Carefully, placing the new emblems directly on top of the old emblems can work ok. Its not ideal but may be the best compromise if you can't find the black plastic housings.

I would check with Hawk's Motorsports for the housings. They may have them.

I looked at their webshop, but I couldnt find anything.
But some parts other parts, so I will email them anyway.

I did manage to get the black plastic casing and the see through plastic apart from each other.
So I think with some magic of paint it will work out.

Now I have to figure out how to do the rear bumper piece.

You could apply heat with a hairdryer to remove the old emblem from the housing. Carefully peel it out and install the new ones in the housing. Unfortunately, the emblems you bought are horrible replacement. The font is completely wrong and doesn't look correct at all.

And you really don't wanna know how much it costs to get them shipped to the Netherlands.
Talking about shipping costs, my new T-Top bar was almost as cheap.
