can you put emblems back on a car after being removed?

Re: gta emblems

Possibly maroon (flame red I think it's called). Mine are white and gold, and I think they're all color-matched to the car. You can put them back on after removing them, you just have to be really careful when removing them. You might try getting some fine wire (like magnet wire), and using it as a saw between the badge and body panel, to "cut" through the adhesive. This trick worked really well to get the vent shades off my truck, and didn't harm the paint either.

Re: gta emblems

GTA emblems should be matched to the exterior color, however there was a year where during a shortage some GTA's got similar colored badges, but they didn't exactly match the the body color. Think it was the metallic red and red cars that got the supply shortage.

Re: gta emblems

In 87 only there were Brown GTA's, my Brother owned one.

There is a thread in the History/Restoration section with pics.
