After my first rock chip and tons of squished insects, I decide to invest in the GMC deflector. Since then no chips or insect messes on the hood. It only covers above the grille, not the headlights. I am not sure about the aesthetics of the deflector, but it works. Norm "> |

Are the Tahoe and GM emblems that are on the back and sides and the LT emblems on the sides just stuck on? I want to remove them but don't want to have to have the holes filled or anything painted. I also want to remove the bowties from the front and back. I think that I read here that these are bolted on. I do like the thought of chrome bowties instead of the gold, though. Also, on a completely different note, I have been reading all of the posts about US Speed. I bought my Catchall floor mats from them and they are excellent to do business. Cheapest I've found too with no tax or shipping. It's always refreshing to find good, honest companies to do business with.

So I wouldn't pull it unless you have a replacement or are willing to have a little body work done. Front bowtie has tape and a couple bolts.

Replying to: rockin_ltz (Jun 03, 2006 4:25 am) However, those with yukons, like myself, have a little more of a problem. The tahoe uses an h11 bulb(lows) and has seperate DRL and highbeam bulbs. the yukon uses the newer h13 bulb (like the new mustang and f150). the h13 bulb acts as a lowbeam, highbeam and DRL. Thus if you install the H13 HID bulb, you will more than likely lose drl and lowbeam functionality unless the bulb is bi-xenon, and i'm pretty sure there are no h13 bi-xenon bulbs available right now. I reccommend that everyone with an 07 tahoe upgrade to the HID bulb. 4300K will produce the most light with a tinge of blue 6000k will not produce as much light and will be more blue 8000k will not have as much light output as 6000k and will be very blue/purple Factory OEM HID's on most vehicles are 4300K. I reccommend the JPcustoms kit(as he has always been very reliable) as well as any Philips 4300k or 6000k kit. note that with HID bulbs, many of them will "colorshift": at first the 4300k may seem "not as white as it could be" but after some hours of use, they will get whiter and have more blue. this also goes for any 6000k bulb (it would get bluer as the hours increased) If you choose to go the HID route, be sure to reaim your headlights and POST PICTURES  IMO these vehicles should have them stock.

Replying to: dettltz (Jun 04, 2006 6:37 am) need: fishing line blowdryer heat up emblem. start with fishing line from the left or right and slide it behind the back of the emblem (one hand above emblem, one hand below). if you can, get someone to hold the blowdryer on the emblem while you do it. took me about 15 minutes to remove all the emblems on my Yukon doing it this way. hardest part is getting excess sticky stuff of the lift gate. An idea for the rear bowtie i had = get it painted the same color as the body of your car, as removal results in two holes. unless of course you want to pay and get the yukon liftgate that will give you the desired "clean" look.
