You want the front bowtie off? Just grab it and pull. It will pop right out. It did for me.

I tried that, wouldn't budge. Did you twist or anything? Might just try to plastidip it on, put paper behind it or something so I don't spray the radiator

Use a good pair of work gloves if you're trying to get them off with your bare hands. So much easier with gloves. Then push down on the tabs on the back and start pulling.

I have never, and I repeat NEVER, liked when people had the interior painted, and I don't think I would ever do the whole she-bang like you did, but those door panels look awesome!!! Much more pop than the colors GM offers.

I HATED the grey that comes in the black interior cars. So, I had every part painted that I could. Can't do the radio stack without painting over the controls.

I used a $5 piece of "scrap" vinyl from a sign shop...had enough to do front and back bowties with enough left over to do them both again if the vinyl gets scratched or chipped somehow. Took about fifteen minutes to do both of them.

Went to the dealership today and the guy who sold me my car was very disappointed in the work they did, gave me a full tank of gas when I was empty and is having them re-do it on Monday and he's gonna look over it.

Ya you definitely got bullshitted, why in gods name did you pay them $160 just for that? Not being mean, but when your gullible other people sense it, and you will spend alot more money for things than you should.
