Hi guys, I have a quick question.... do you guys think if i have a white tahoe with chrome door handles, mirror caps and grill, will the black bowtie emblems look out of place?

Yes it will be out of place. If you have chrome trim stick with color matched parts. So if you really want to black out your bow ties you'd have to black out all your trim.

Orrrr you can just color match your bow ties white. I had a white tahoe w/ chrome trim before and color matched em... looked ****:

I've a Denali with the OEM setup, and it makes me smile. Even though, I do like the Tahoe front end more.

... So yeah, White with Chrome = nice, bag it, i'll take it, thank you very much.

EDIT, the windows, and mirrors are black, and I like that contrast with the chrome, know what i mean?

I think black would look just as good, but it has to be gloss black

I personally wouldn't go with the black bow ties. I'd definitely do chrome or color match with the white.

Check Ebay, I was looking and they seem to have the cheapest I've found.

Best route is to paint your stock bow tie but leave the chrome trim surrounding it. The factory bow tie is perfect... It just came the wrong color so just paint it the color of your car and be done with it!
