Cool idea for your hood emblem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The plastic on mine was cracked, so I removed the entire emblem, polished the paint on the hood underneath, and then reinstalled without the plastic piece. Total cost= $0

I kinda like how the color of the hood shows through, and not having that much plastic on the hood. I'll try it for a while, and see if it grows on me.

Here is a thread from a little while back where a guy had the same problem with his and came up with a great solution. If you get tired of your fix, maybe you can try out there fix.

I like it you should get a farther shot so we can see what it looks like from a distance

Yeah, it's bolted like everything else on these trucks lol. There are two bolts, and they can be accessed with a long socket wrench with an angle joint. The one on the left is really easy. The one on the right kinda needs a flashlight and some patience, but it isn't too bad
