I have a 2011 suburban z71. I ordered some bowtie's for the front and back. When I tried to put the front one on it did not fit clean at all. Has anyone purchased some that worked and look great? Thanks for the help

I ordered a billet one too a long time ago. Horrible fit. Paint the stock ones imo.

That is what I did.

Yea LMC truck is the way to go. I have ordered of eBay or amazon and honestly nothing never fits. Now I would rather pay more and have it fit and look good.

What fit issues were you having? I got mine off ebay and they seem to be spot on.

Only issue I ran into was the front bowtie studs are perpendicualr to the back of the bowtie which actually makes them too narrow at the tips since the bowtie is not flat. a small round file to make it slightly oval got the tips to slide right in.

Got the, in from lmc. Front one has gaps and doesn't for tight the rear has a gap because the bowtie is flat and the rear panel on the lift gate has a bow to it. Kind of annoying now that they are 3m taped on. Ahhhh not super noticeable but I am pretty picky.
