HELP - I am NEW and have many questions

That blows, as much as I like the cleanliness of a debadged vehicle, I believe the two holes would be more of an eyesore than just leaving the emblem stuck on - thanks for the clarrification.

Replace your tahoe applique with a yukon applique. it's directly interchangeable.

Yet another perfect example of why I like this site so much. Thanks for that info.

2. I think your going to have to have it painted to your color.
3. They make a grille without a chevy emblem. A couple of the guys here have them. The rear emblem is double sided tape. It comes off with some heat like a hair dryer and then using your fingers to get it off. Atleast that's what i did. http://www.alligatorperformance.com...hevrolet-tahoe-suburban-avalanche-p-8794.html

BEWARE the holes behind the rear bowtie

The yukon applique or whatever is squared off tho and i personally dont think it matches up to the tahoes body lines....

I need your opinion: Do you think the grille in the link below would look nice on My Hoe?

I think it looks clean with the chrome door handles, chrome wheels and now matching chrome bow tie on the rear but want some opinions.....I'd really love to just simply remove the bow tie on the front grille and leave it alone. But, I am told there are holes that would show and this wouldn't look clean.

This picture is old but since then I've removed all the Tahoe declas, limo tinted all the windows except for the front drive and passenger which remain at legal tint.

Be careful with those grilles because they require you to cut the plastic divider in your bumper assembly ... be sure it's what you want cause there's no going back.

Personally I think one piece chrome/st. steel gilles are not pretty on Hoes, but if you like 'em and you're sure then go for it.

Btw, what the weird is that mesh stuff over the drl/turn signals in that carid grille pic?

Thanks for pointing that out, the company said I wouldn't have to cut anything.

When I seen the headlight image on that site, I also thought it was weird. They actually sell those chrome pieces to fit on the lower part of the headlight lol.

Well, it might be one of those overlay one piece grilles that goes on top of your existing ones and the plastic divider. If that's the case the upside is that there's no cutting required, the down side is that I've never seen one of those look right in real life, and most of the time one can see the stock grilles and divider behind it. Less of an issue if both the truck and grilles are black, but on yours it will look like poo.

When I had my 08 Denali, it looked real nice because the chrome went with the white exterior. It wasn't an overlay, I removed the Denali grille and this one fit right in. It took about 10 minutes to install. I thought this was the same type of grille.

I just don't know how it would look with the current color of my Tahoe.

Maybe I will just buy the chrome bow tie for the front but that may also be to much bling....

 

[soulsea]

In my opinion the bowties, front and back, look really nice when you color match them to the truck whilst leaving their chrome surround intact.

Here's what that looked like on my old truck:

that does look sweet!

I'm sure there is a post with threads on here but where could I find paint for this and I'm sure sanding would be required, right?
