The front screw is behind the emblem, Iroc, Z28, whatever it may be and the rear screw is on the inside of the car behind all the interior stuff. Haven't done it since the summer but I am pretty sure thats where they were.

be careful when you remove that emblem. when i took mine off , i broke the studs that pop into the holes to hold it in. now i dont have an emblem there.

They are right, 2 philips head screws behind the emblem. Be very careful with those.

For the back, take out your interior peices. There will be a square opening, you can get that bolt off using a long extension.

I did the same thing. What I used weather stripping adheasive to re attach my CAMARO rocker panel embelms back onto the gfx.
They are more that staying on there for now I cant even pry them off

Don't you hate when those emblems break? 3M double sided tape will hold them in place great if you should break the studs off.

Humm, it's been several years since I messed with the rocker emblems, but it seems to me that the emblem's plastic studes can be accessed from below the car and pushed out with a flat-bladded screw driver.

I broke my emblems... and glued them back on thinking, there now they won't fall off.

I just hope I don't have to take the gfx off any time soon.

Ouch! That always scares the crap out of me now that my car is manual. I just break out the jack just to be safe and use the ramps on my auto cars.
