Looks good J-rod.

Personally i`m feeeling leaving the emblem and painting the red in the GMC black (then putting in the black bar overlay). i think it would look real sharp. having absolutley no markings on it might be too much, like to keep a slight familiarity.

Clancy, the full replacement actually sits back an inch or so into the surround so it looks right. The overlay is almost flush with the front of the surround which looks odd, IMO.

Don't back out on the de-badged plan now!!!

Any pics of how the bow tie comes out? Can it be removedd with out removing the grill??

Yes the bowtie can be removed without removing the grill. Just have to remove the radiator cover and reach down with a small screw driver and push in two tabs.

Yes like Robert said, sorry I didn't get any picks of it though.

well i`ve never been so on the fence about anything, hence why i haven`t done it yet. such a tough call, wish i could see both side by side in person...

I didn't remove the grill when I did this...

I decided I didn't want the extra size of the black rim around the bowtie.

You will not regret the cutout. I promise.

Grille install looks great Jrod. Looks like there is a bunch more smoothing and sanding than there was on my GMC install.
