  1. Update on an earlier post, yes you can remove that big old badge from the back of your new Silverado! I ordered a new replacement (after damaging the original trying to remove it) and it is all tape on the back, no alignment pegs! So, I attempted to finish removing the old one, this time heating it up and using triple strand fishing line, and she finally came off. Took a while to clean it up, most of the tape stuck to the paint. I discovered that rolling it off with your thumb is more effective and quicker than soaking it with Goo gone. Makes the thumb kinda sore, but works like a charm! It looks great without the bowtie, so I'm going to put the new badge away and reinstall it when I sell the truck. :driving:

  2. Been reading with great interest how to remove that huge bowtie on the back of my 07 nbs. After reading all the posts, I went out with my gloves and fishing line and proceeded to cut through the tape. I gave up at the center, when the line kept breaking like there was indeed, something more than 3M tape holding it on. :shakehead: Tried it from the other side as well, again it broke at the same point. With both sides lifted, I tried to remove it by force......yep, you know the rest. :banghead: I'll be heading out in the morning to my local dealer and ordering another. Going to wait til I get the replacement and see exactly what's behind there before I finish removing the old, crinkled one. :sigh:

    Will keep you posted.
