I see it all the time, it gives it a nice clean look if thats what you're going for. If my truck were a Z71 I would do it myself but my truck is just a w/t and the whole tailgate says "Chevrolet" painted (or decaled) on

I started the debadging process this afternoon so far only got the tailgate and 1500 emblems off but i must say i like the clean look already. Now just have to get them black side moldings off.

There any tricks to the black side moldings? Those are being a kind of a pain. The adheisive seems to be a different type then the emblems were held on with.

They won't come off? did you run fishin string behind the emblem to separate it from the glue then use the wheel to take the actual glue off your truck?
