Ok, so after debadging the Truck and following our Buddy Serge in regards to what he wants to do with his new Denali, I was wondering about the following.

Should I:

- Leave the AFTERMARKET GMC Emblem on the truck as is? (Pic 1)
- Have the original red GMC Emblem painted with the Body color (Leave the Chrome outline) and put it back on? (Pic 2 and 3)
- Have the original YUKON Emblem painted with the Body color as well and reapply it (REAR ONLY) to have the rear door symetric? (Pic 2 and 4).

THOUGHTS, OPINIONS please? I know what Jason (JZ BLK 06) will say.

Thanks in advance guys.

I'd go symetrical, either both or neither! If you keep both, color matching and leaving chrome outline for both would be cool!!

Could you please put the yukon letters back where they belong and leave the other side as is?

I'd say both OEM colormatched with chrome outline in their original locations!! I got my truck debadged a while back and kinda miss the emblems on the back!!

I vote option D. "Type R" badges on liftgate, doors, and hood. :laughing1:

I actually like it as is. If it was mine, the only change I would make is debadging completely, but that doesn't sound like an option for you.

Well, I made up my mind:

- I purchased an NNBS YUKON emblem for the rear.
- The original OEM rear GMC Emblem is at the paint shop to get painted. Red will become "carbon metallic", the chrome outline will stay.
- The Doors will stay as is, DEBADGED.

Let's see how I like this look. Who knows, may just change it again later. :shrug:

Now I am debating about possibly having the front GMC Emblem on the grill also color matched, but who knows?????

This REALLY IS turning into an ADDICTION!

You work FAST ;)

All forums are addicting.....I guess there could be worse things to be addicted to.
Looking forward to the finished product.
