Can anyone tell me if these will fit a 2016 Silverado since they're the same body style?

They sure will, I have them on my '16.

The front bowtie will need one of the small locator pins cut off, but everything else lines up perfect.

Thx Cowboyman! I contacted my local dealership and per the VIN, they told me they wouldn't work. Glad that you found a work around!

No problem !

I was surprised when I was installing mine because all the clip-in posts are identical, but the locator pin on the left side in this picture that looks like a T is in a different spot on the '16's....With a x-acto knife and wire cutters it was easy to cut it down a little shorter and it snaps in perfect now.

Awesome, thanks for the updated pic!

You're welcome, glad I could help.

I honestly forgot about that pin needing trimmed until you asked.

Can someone confirm that these will not fit the front bowtie on a 2015 Silverado? I've seen that the rear is the same size but that the front is different. I would just like someone to verify that physically.

They do NOT fit the 2014/2015 truck fronts. The emblem cutout in the grille is a slightly different size.

As others have said YES they will fit a 2016.

Well.. it looks like my local bodyshop don't want to paint it, unless I want to pay mainly for labor as they have to mask the letters and etc.. they suggest to go have it airbrushed instead.. .. I have some touchup paint in aerosol can, might give that a shot.. .. was thinking of plasti-dip the letters(stuff I don't want painted). Then spray the background, then remove the plasti-dip on the letters.... not sure yet..

I did put it up against my truck.. and it still doesn't look bad with that deep/dark blue(or whatever it is).

Finally received mine yesterday. IDK if they updated the pins or if my grille is different, but the front fit right in. Now on to the rear one, which makes me a little nervous. Do any of y'all have some advice for the best way to replace the rear bowtie?

Johnny01: there's a video on YouTube that shows you how.

Pay a body shop, the bow ties are stuck on like grim death. Once you have it off, you then get to try and remove the adhesive that held it on. I used a pro grade adhesive remover and a "rubber" adhesive removal wheel to get it, but it took forever.

I can't wait to see what you decide, they'll look great any way you go.

It is amazing how DARK blue they are.....if I hadn't seen them in person with the bright sunshine (or flashlight) I'd think they were black !

Looks great, make sure you mark with some good painters (safe-easy release) masking tape where you old one was....that makes it alot easier to get the new one in exactly the right spot

I use this and it works great and leaves nothing behind.

Spray paint from a can? Forgetaboutit! Put em on as is.

If they come out with black ones, I’d think about getting a set. I don’t think the blue would look as good as my black bow ties on my midnight edition.

It is a major pain the rear, I had some old adhesive remover from the 90's before they outlawed a lot of the good stuff.

Still took me a good 45 minutes to get it all gone !
