Successful Acquisition of 2022 Tahoe Z71

Drove it home this morning. Engine has great response. Love the feel of a V8. No turbo lag. I want to either black out the Z71 or remove them.

Suburban z-71, but I bought the Silverado Midnight Badges. It is a big improvement in my opinion vs the red and chrome.

Looks great! Where’d you get the badges?

eBay - just make sure you get the oem one not the junk ones that are just stickers.

I ran a piece of painters tape across the bottom of existing emblem. So it would be perfect then marked where it started and stopped.

Heated the old emblem with a hair dryer, fishing line and it was off. Then my son ordered an eraser thing that goes on the end of a drill. It was amazing to remove all the excess sticky material. I was done start to finish in 15 minutes.

It’s silly but on the white it completely changed the look.

This is stock:

Looks so much better with black emblem! Just removed my red/silver Z71 side emblems. Weird that they put those on a blacked out truck. I tried the wheel and got spooked I would F up the clear coat, so I just worked it with 3M adhesive remover ( worked very well). I did not put the black emblems on yet. Trying to decide if I like the stealth look or not. Will pot a pic when it gets light out.

Thanks for posting this. It was the inspiration to replace the badges on my 23 Tahoe. It definitely changes the look, especially on the white.
