Bowtie Install? (Austin TX area)

[MissCB25]

I'm about to order chrome (or black, who knows what I'll actually decide on) bowties for my Tahoe- I HATE the gold Chevy stock ones! My questions is, would anyone in the Austin area consider a barter of sorts to install them for me?

I have a 250GB PlayStation 3 Slim (newest one) with 2 wireless controllers and a few games I could trade for your time and skills! I can come to you, as well. Also have a couple of desktop computer towers (HP) and a Dell LCD monitor.

I could also babysit your kids!! Lol. I can't really pay cash right now b/c hubby and I both just lost our jobs and I haven't started my new one yet.

If you're interested let me know if we can work something out!

If you were in Dallas I would help out... and it really isn't too hard if I remember correctly.

It takes about 10 minutes to swap out bowties. So keep your stuff cuz if anyone would charge anything over $20 bucks to do it they're ripping you off. Two bolts hold on the front, and the rear is glued. Just take a hairdryer and dental floss to the rear and it will pop right off. Or just save your money and paint them yourself.

What he said! It's really easy to do. Took me a little under 15 min to do front and rear. If I was closer I would do it for a 12 pack of bud light haha!i But if you are trying to get ride of that stuff, I'll take it!!

If you ever are in Dallas and are too lazy to do it, I definitely can help no problem...

what's the best way for black bowties? paint yourself, or buy pre made black ones? what kind of paint/treatment, etc?

I painted mine and I love it. Easy to remove and probably a cheap job.

what do you use to restick the bow ties to the truck?

The front bowtie is connected with 2 studs/screws on the back. The rear is nothing more than adhesive.

I went with the polished Billet front & rear.

I haven't done it yet, but I'd use 3M double sided tape that you can get at any auto supply store.
