I got mine from the Chevy Accessories website. Took this picture when I swapped out my bow tie emblem to the black one. You can see the old one by the hood deflector so don’t think those little spikes

What size / type / brand push pins you use? 

I have an AVS bugflector coming this week.   Might as well be ready for it.

3M Tape it’s very secure and doesn’t give at all.

Looks great!  How's the wind noise at 60+ mph?

I just had my truck ceramic coated and not sure if the 3M tape will hold or not. Plus I'm not crazy about putting something on the truck with sticky tape. Can yours be taken completely off without opening the hood or is it pretty secured? Yours looks great!

You can definitely tell the difference in added wind noise.

It can be taken off completely without opening the hood - tt's attached with the same material that the truck badges/decals are affixed with so there's no quick removing it. They provide you with alcohol wipes -- maybe it'll help with the ceramic coating? And thanks!

i used like a 1\2 to 3\4 long by 1\8-3\16  Christmas tree push pins i had laying around the house ... sorry haven't gotten pics up  truck is the wife's DD and she gets home after dark daily

also when i used these push pins they were a bit bigger then the sent plastic rivets so i had to gentle tap them into the holes in the hood with a rubber mallet just until they would hold the shield

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
