SDuster11 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 just get out the sun and a little fishing line and take the sucka off ... Why the fishing line? And does anyone know if they sale the trim around that badge (currently it is chrome) in a painted option, prefer'd in black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big O Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Fishing line cuts the puffy 3m double sided tape. Then you just rub off the excess and you are golden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Bowtie Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Looks like there are NO holes/clips/barrel nuts if that is what u are asking. It's all double sided tape... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some fine steel wool to rough up the gold part, masked the chrome, and sprayed the gold portion with black paint. Came out nice, I think.

CAREFUL!!!! My buddy took his off his '07 Tahoe, and it WAS attached by more than just adhesive. He has two little holes that are offset that would have to be filled or covered by something else. He and I are both Longhorn fans, and the little chrome longhorn emblems won't cover the holes. On his the holes looked like this (see below) O O Check w/ a dealer first or look into covering your decal with something. I just did my front emblem with a carbon fiber stick on and it looks great. 8$ from webextremes.com <img src=http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l17/chris_widmer/DSC01507sss.jpg> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are about that far apart vertically, but 3 inches or so apart horizontally. So if you were looking at a 3" clock, the holes would be at 10 and 4.

Bad Bowtie Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 He was talking about the NBS tailgate bowtie, not the grille bowtie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Dubya Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 He was talking about the NBS tailgate bowtie, not the grille bowtie. I should have clarified. My buddy removed his bowtie emblem fromt the BACK of his NBS tahoe. I'm not sure if it's the same on the p/u trucks, but his DID leave two holes. I mentioned the overlay emblem (on my truck) as an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big O Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I took off the F150 badges on my work truck and there were holes for a emblem attachment as well. It was 3 little holes. If its there just get some 3m tape and put the emblem back on. No biggie really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Dubya Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Where do U reside in TX "VHONXS"? My father has a black GMC VHO, urs kind of reminds me of it ALOT. I'm north of Austin. When I had dealers looking for the B4V option, they found a black GMC VHO on the showroom floor somewhere in Louisiana, leather, the works, but as this is a company truck, I didn't want to push my luck and took the chevy.

bfisher3 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 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. 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. 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. Will keep you posted.

Big O Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I would guess there is nothing there ... just your fishing line is getting tore up on the edges or just not heavy duty enough. If they were to put posts to hold the emblem on it would not be dead center ... they would be at the outter edges or two posts about 1/3 of the way from the center out ( one on each side ). You might try using a hair dryer to get the 3m tape to loosen up and make it easier to cut/pull. But let us know how it turns out for you ... I'm sure many people are awaiting your discoveries.
