Thank you! But I should’ve mentioned that I got it professionally powdercoated by a shop, although I wish I knew how to do it myself

I need some help obtaining the larger gray Hood Decal, part #23280412. I ordered one from Courtesy Chevrolet in Phonix AZ. when it arrived it was in a large box but folded into five sections and put into a 6"x18" plastic bag leaving deep creases in the decal. I went to a professional installer and he said he thought 2 of the creases would show once installed so I sent it back. I then tried ordering through Tasca like BZSS did but they replied the Decal is back ordered and not showing a date for restock. I had the same result from GMparts direct and 2 other GM suppliers. So obviously this part is not available from GM. I went to a body shop and they also could not find a source either but he said he could paint the stripe on and match the Decal. I am leery of that and would rather find a decal. I am replacing the decal because I tried to remove an etched bird dropping mark with a buffer and it left the decal shiny which I don't like because it looks just like the rest of the painted hood. Anybody out there know of a source that may have the part in stock instead of going to GM or any other options?

Anyone debadge the rear bowtie on the Fifty? I have a hunch that the rear black decal would be dirty / damaged under it. I was thinking of going gloss black bowtie boarder (the normally chrome piece) and matte black interior. Anyone that made the switch to a black bowtie think it's feasible to do it without a badge at all without the double-sided tape under it doing damage or leaving a stain mark?

Yes, I did it when the car was about 1.5 years old maybe 7,500 mi and there was no issue. Wrap was not discolored, I liked it so much I left the back badge off all together. I was changing all my bowties to black but liked the rear without. You cant even tell there was ever anything on the wrap.

Follow this kid on You Tube. I actually met him and he is a good guy. He absolutely loves his FIFTY and does all his own work. He motivates and encourages along the way. I wish I had his energy. Some dedicated FIFTY owners might disagree with the removal of the stripes like myself but even without the spoiler the car looks great.

I debadged my trunk aswell and you it was a PITA to remove the gooey residue, but once cleaned it looked awesome without it, so i left it like that. Your vinyl underneath should look perfect once cleaned 👍🏼

Thanks. Looks like I finally found the Hood decal. Being shipped from GM Parts Overstock. It took buying from 5 different GM parts suppliers until I found one that had it in stock. I would purchase the decal only to be informed "the item you ordered is out of stock and GM does not have a date when it will be available". Yea!

Our Camaro Club did a cider mill run today. I made it to two of the three area cider mills. About 20 Camaros and a Z06. I made it to the first two but had to tag out on the third one.

If anyone is interested I have my lloyds Camaro fifty trunk mat for sale in the interior classifieds section. Too big to ship so looking for pick in Tampa, FL or potentially Franklin,NC where I’ll be at the end of the month for a week.
