Help Me Decide How To Decorate My Behind

[ChrisAU]

Completely de-badging isn't an option for the simple reason that I want a small chrome element to offset the chrome trim on the esky bumper. Otherwise, imo it doesn't look right.



I think you're misunderstanding the objective ...namely to DIMINISH the visibility of the Hybrid appellation and not to overstate it. First thing I did before the truck even left the dealer is to have them remove the gigantic hybrid stickers from all the windows. Having done so, the last thing I'll do is get a cheesy license plate referring to anything Hybrid. Now I am trying to remove the ugly and partly green Hybrid badges from the rear of my truck, to either replace with the much more subtle Tahoe font, or to remove it all together and simply have HYHOE on the left which would only be meaningful to me and a handful of others.

Short of de-badging completely which I won't do, these are the two most understated ways I could think of to retain a clean and subtle look. Interpreting it as an attempt by me to emphasize the hybrid drive is simply the opposite of what I've been doing since I purchased the truck.

AHA! I saw a HyHoe yesterday and just couldn't believe that someone would add those stickers. What in the hell is Chevy thinking adding those stock?

You and your clear, logical explanations. Darn you! LOL

Got it. And I wouldn't have debadged my rear had the "TAHOE" not been put on crookedly from the factory. I, too, think there ought to be some more chrome back there to offset our bumper strips.

Thats just it...no one will second guess seeing Hybrid in a regular font unless they are Tahoe junkies like us.

If you put Hyhoe, everyone that reads will double take and say to themselves "What the hell?"

So obviously, Hyhoe.

One million percent right....
Hyhoe or hyhaters lol

Man this is a lot closer that I had hoped for ... it makes it even more difficult to choose.

I'll let the poll run through the end of labor day weekend and then make a final decision.

Thanks everyone.

Okays, so it looks like I'll be going with TAHOE HYBRID as per the poll results.

Thanks everyone for helping me make a tricky decision.

I'll hook it up when the rain ends, if it ever ends, and pics will of course follow.

No problem! I'm glad my vote won it overall! It looks real good too... Just as I had envisioned.
