I just taped around the black border. Then used an exacto knife/razor blade to cut off the excess tap on the bowtie. I then used an adhesive promotor, and dupli-color paint from walmart. Once the paint was dry I put on dupli color clear cloat. It turned out pretty good. I then decided I wanted the black border white as well. So I painted the black border. I wish I wouldnt have painted it! I just purchased another factory emblem and will paint just the bowtie and leave the border black!

Your dealer has them for around $30. I picked mine up off ebay for $12 delivered.

Just tell your dealer you need a replacement front grille bowtie for your 2007 tahoe. There arent any currently on ebay. Dont you have your stock bowtie? That is all you have to do is remove it and paint it. It is simple.
