Are these the ones? if not where?


So what is the process for removing the Gold ones, are they just taped on?


Thanks
Metel

I'd love to know as well! Just picked up my '10 LT and need to do some work on it bad

There are 2 10mm bolts holding the bowtie to the grille, and then it has a square patch of double-sided tape. So after you remove the bolts, you pull off carefully but with force.

As for which bowties to use, I just removed my gold one and painted it OEM GM black paint and added a clear coat.

i have those...the front is just taped on dont think there were any bolts..use a hair dryer to heat it up and use a lil screwdriver to lift the corner to pull it off....the back is just stuck on, use a hairdryer heat it up, remove the sticky..i used rubbing alcohol for that..they have some with different colored outlines out there

or just get a quality rattle can of black paint, tape everything off, scuff it up, and paint?

10 bucks opposed to 70 bucks?

I talk to a buddy of mine who owns a body/paint shop and he suggested this... thoughts?

I would still recommend taking it off and painting it. It should be relatively easy it sounds like, just may have to find some 3M double-sided tape after you paint it.

Hey I just did these last weekend. If you want it done right you have to remove both emblems, prep them and paint with a basecoat clearcoat. These will last forever. I woudl stay away from the spray cans because the finish will come off in time

Best of all, you don't have to wait for shipping. If you mess up, just sand it down and try again. I did this on day one.
