Has anyone replaced the front gold emblem on an '07 Tahoe with an after market emblem? I ordered one off of ebay but have not received it yet. Is it as easy as removing the two bolts from under the hood or is the gold bowtie actually glued on as well? I removed the gold emblem off the chrome base emblem on the back of the Tahoe. It was only held on with double sided tape. It looks much better now.

I have the same questions. Anyone have an aftermarket chrome/polished bowtie on the front of their 07 tahoe? Pictures, price, where you got it, and installation information would be great.

I just did this last Friday. It looks great and is easy. I ordered the chrome bowties from autoaccessories4u on ebay. The back one comes off with fishing line and a little elbow grease. Once off, spray WD40 on the remaining tape to get it off. There are 2 small holes where the emblem was. Clean the area and apply the new one. It has double stick tape on it...
The front is easy as well. You'll need a ratchet with a 10mm socket (guessing, but think it was 10mm) to remove the two nuts...again, very easy. The new chrome bowtie has two posts that fit right into the holes on the grill. Tighten and you're done... NOTE: You can't do this with pliers or a crescent wrench...use a driver/socket.
I don't have any pics, but do a search on this site and you'll find some. Again, this is a must-have upgrade. My wife even noticed the difference.

I bought the "chrome" one off Ebay. I had the polished aluminum one on my '01 Tahoe. It looked good for a while but had to keep polishing it. Went with the chrome as it matches the chrome outline on the grill bar.
Very easy to install. Loosened the two nuts on the back of the emblem, removed it. Had to clean where the emblem was removed because it left a little tape residue. A little goo gone. Mounted the new chrome one, tightened and BAM....What a look on black.

Friscokid,
I just ordered a polished billet grille off ebay. How does the polish of the emblem match the polish of a billet grille. I dont want one to look extremely dull in comparison to the other. Thanks.
