GM Genuine 23219389 Body Emblem

My order came in very fast and was as ordered. The front was the easiest to change. Took about 15 mins. to remove old one and install the new one. The rear one was not hard but did take a while to remove old emblem. I used a heat gun and a piece of fishing line to run behind the emblem when it was hot enough. The new emblems were just like the factory ones. Both were made of the same material other than being black bowtie. Overall may have taken 45mins. for complete job.

Got item as promised. The front emblem is very easy to swap out, it took me all of about 5 minutes. You open the hood, remove the 6 screws holding the top of the grill, then pull the grill out slightly (it will be attached at the bottom, but you don't need to completely remove it). I then reached behind it, popped the plastic clips out and removed the old one. I didn't need any tools for this, other than a screwdriver to remove the screws on top. Then simply pop the new one in.The back emblem takes a little more work. Sadly, I didn't think about taking pictures, but it's easy to explain. I started by using masking tape around the emblem, and then used a pen to mark the corners to try and get it as exact as possible. Once I had that done, I used fishing line to go behind the emblem and used it in a "sawing" motion to cut through the adhesive. This part takes a little while as the line did break a few times from the heat/friction. Once I got about half-way through, I was able to pry up that side of the emblem about a half inch and put my microfiber cloth under it to hold it up. After I did this, the fishing line was able to "cut" through a lot easier. I'm sure any number of things can be used to do this, fishing line just happened to be what I had handy that wouldn't risk scratching the paint.Once that was done, I used this wheel  Decal Remover Eraser Wheel. Remove Car Decals, Vinyl & Stickers in Minutes with the 4" Wonder Wheel toolkit - Arbor Supplied  to remove the adhesive from the tailgate. It took a little more pressure than I was expecting, and at one point I thought it was going to leave all kinds of marks on my paint. However, I took a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water (equal parts) and wiped and dried the area. After doing this, most of the residue was cleaned off. I used the wheel again, then wiped off the residue. I repeated this process a few times and when I was done, the area looked like a fresh paint job. I even went ahead and removed the dealer vinyl decal with the same process.After getting it cleaned up I carefully put the new emblem in place, taking extra time to line up the marks I had made on the masking tape before. Be careful with the wheel when getting close to the tape as it will tear it off. I did this on one small section of tape, but luckily it wasn't a spot that would cause me to not be able to align the new emblem.Hopefully this explanation helps, as I searched for a while to try and find an easy and straightforward way to do this.

A heat gun is required for this install. It's a perfect fit for the 2016-2019 Chevy Colorado. Makes the truck look better as black matches better than gold. This was the cheapest place I could find these.

Sorry had to send back. Didn’t want to. But traded up to larger truck.There was nothing said about return fee because it was for Christmas and that return would be until January 31,2021. But company chose to only honor the 30 day return. Merchandise really nice but would not believe what they say.

Perfect fit on my black 2015 colorado z71. Looks so much classier than that gold bowtie. Install was relatively easy. 6 torx screws under the hood and u can access the back of the old one. I used 2 long screwdrivers to pop the clips off the back, and then the new one snapped into place. Love it!

Perfect factory replacement for the generic gold bow tie on my 2016 Chevy Colorado. I used painters tape to mask around the back bow tie for easily keeping the replacement in the exact spot.

i love the look, the east of installation and i would recommend this product to everyone!!

Easy to install and looks far better than the gold factory emblems.
