Do it! Try my suggestion of using a flat head to push the chrome tab down with one hand, and use a hammer to knock the tab through the slot.

Just painted the emblems to match the paint. Found the paint on www.automitivetouchup.com

Nice!

How does it look with the chrome left inside the lights? Need a pic from farther back.

Haha yea I need to get a better shot. This was just a quick cell phone shot I sent to a buddy. I'll take a few better ones after the next wash and post them up

@ sensinitas - looks good! what color is your tahoe?

I did the same thing to mine about a month or two ago, and getting that chrome off was by far the hardest part.

To be honest, I'm not super happy how it turned out. Don't get me wrong - I think it looks pretty good on darker colored Tahoes like Sensinitas' - but mine is silver and i think the sharp contrast is just too much. Kinda makes the grille look cheap and plasticy (for lack of a better word). I need to post some pics. I ended up buying another black grille with the chrome surround on it from ebay for $50 in case I want to change it back.

Thanks! Mine is Taupe Grey Metallic.

Yea the chrome was a ***** to get off, until I figured it out. It's actually pretty easy if you know what you're doing. But I didn't, so it took me a while...

Let's see some pics of your grill!
