Theres literally a dozed threads on this :) You can either get a vinyl for it online which many have done and I did to begin with, or you can take them off and repaint them. I decided to pull the vinyl off after a couple months and I just painted them. Much happier with the paint and it looks clean.

I Plastidipped mine. Turned out great, stands up to the elements awesome, and if I ever don't like it, I can peel it off.

Center cap - GM has black ones ( Midnight Edition ) or paint them

If you order a replacement set be careful to ensure you get 14-15 or 16-17 as the front mounting has changed. Not sure how that company lists them as 14-16

 

I ordered vinyl as I liked the "carbon fiber" look

Vinyl wrapped mine, $12 in vinyl with a heat gun and a razor blade. Looks great, if I don't like it I can just peel it off. Much easier than plastidip in my opinion as you can do it on the truck with zero masking.

Thinking about doing the z on z71 in the grill also. Have enough vinyl left to do 8 more emblems.

Tried to get mine vinyl wrapped but the place I went to wouldn't do it because they said the texture of the bowtie wouldn't allow the vinyl to stick. They wouldn't be able to guarantee their work. I can respect that. I went with the plastidip option and love the results.

I sprayed mine to match using a kit from eBay and Duplicolor primer/adhesion promoter...
