X2! Looking good Chase!

Did you do something different with your front badge? I thought you had the GMC painted to match..?
I had a painted GMC logo. And the paint didn’t last. So I took it off and vinyl wrapped it. Kinda liked it but wasn’t crazy about the imperfect vinyl wrap job. Lol. So I took it off. I actually ordered a replacement logo that’s done in a “carbon fiber look”. It looks good. But the mounts don’t match my mounting spot on my grille. The listing said it fit and it doesn’t. So I haven’t decided what I’m gonna out there. right now it’s just blank.

Might be as easy as just drilling new mounting holes.

Nope. It has plastic tabs where the mounting screws are supposed to thread into the back of the logo itself. And they’re not lined up with the holes in the back of the grill for the logo Mount.
Sometimes you need to McGyver stuff. If it was me--depending because I'd have to see it in person--I MIGHT break off the tabs and use some 2 part epoxy and epoxy it in the proper location--or--drill new holes to fit the new mounting tabs. There's more then 1--or 2--ways to skin a cat.

Yup. I was thinking to cut the tabs off, file it down smooth form the breaks, and then drill holes for the screws.
