Default Tahoe emblems

Just got my 07' Tahoe yesterday...Does anyone know how to get the Tahoe, Flexfuel,GM etc. emblems off w/o scratching paint. I am looking for the clean look.

Use a piece of fishing line (monofilament) and use it to sort of saw thru the foam tape holding the emblem on. Using a hair dryer to warm the emblem also helps. Use Goo Gone or Disolvit to remove the remaining gunk.

Happy New Year and welcome to the forum.

If someone has pictures of their tahoe will all emblems removed I would love to see some pics. Pictures of the sides and rear without the emblems.

Everyday. I did remove the little, square GM emblem on the side. Not sure about letters yet.

Thanks for the good info...I used 20lb. mono and a heat gun and in about 20 minutes I have a clean Tahoe!! I used WD-40 for the gunk clean up.

Now ...does anybody know about the rear boe tie.....is it just tape or does it have thru bolts holding it on??
