Default 2012 Tahoe LT Bow Tie

I just recently bought a 2012 Tahoe LT and would like to find out if the large Chevy gold bowtie above the rear license plate is just stuck on with some kind of 3-m tape or permanet. I saw a 2012 GMC Yukon without a badge on the license plate light and it looked much better.

Thanks for any help or advice

Welcome to the forum.

The gold plastic part is held on w/ an adhesive which can be cut using monofilament fishing line or dental floss. You are left w/ a chrome bowtie. It is attached to the bezel which is attached to the hatch.

The Yukon smooth bezel is attached to the hatch and you'd need to remove yours and replace w/ the Yukon part. Would also require painting.

Another option is to buy a vinyl graphic to go over the gold bowtie. Can get them on eBay for a few bucks. Just an idea.
