Hi all - Anyone have any pictures of a completely de-badged 21-22 Yukon Denali? I removed the GMC and Yukon logos (left the Denali badge) off the tailgate and now thinking about taking it a step further with the door badges. Anyone have any pictures? Trying to get a sense for what it looks like before I do it.

Thanks in advance.

i plan on de-badging mine completely once it shows up! (should be any day now, white as well) and I will post pics.
Please do, I still have not pulled the trigger on taking the badges off. Just the rear tailgate at this point.

How do you remove them? Are they just glued on?
They are just 3M foam taped on. Use a fishing line to "cut" through the back side then use an eraser wheel and drill to removed the left over goo. For the center GMC log above the license plate on the rear lift gate you will need to remove the excess goo by hand (at least on the Denali) because the finish on the plastic gets destroyed with the eraser wheel. Thankfully I watched a guy on YouTube do it on his Denali with the eraser wheel so I didn't have to learn the hard way like he did. lol.

Would this tactic work to remove the Tahoe letters from the sides ?

Previous owner tried to paint or plasti dip them but they are peeling. Thoughts on redoing the black out vs removal?

Yes, same method on the door badges works perfectly. I have done it on every vehicle I have owned.

You'll find just by simply removing the YUKON badges that all of a sudden people seem very confused as to what the vehicle is...tire store guy, body shop guy and tint guy all kinda looked at it with a puzzled look on their faces until I told them its just a yukon which is surprising to me as they all work in the automotive field

Looks awesome! You needed new tires already? I loved the Michelins on my old Denali. How do they ride in the new model with the thicker sidewall?
Good eye! When my order was placed the black 22” wheels were on constraint, so we just went with stock 20” to get the order pushed through. And my dealer had a set coming in as accessory and let me pick which tires I wanted. So far I love them, only about 150 miles on them. Ride is great.

Friend has one, I will ask him to de-badge it and send the photos.
