Can anyone give me a clue on how to remove the front bowtie. I am assuming I have to remove the brushed aluminum colored bar that it is attached. I see the two screws on the top as you open the hood, but everything else is from the underside, but it would be greatly appreciated if someone knows before I remove things that are not necessary. Thanks.

Open the hood.
Remove the fasteners from the grille brackets.
Use a flat-bladed tool to release the hook and loop from the grille applique molding.

The location of the hook an loop is not indicated. Neither is a specific tool noted. I think they mean something like a putty knife, or maybe the plastic equilivant. I also think they mean the tool be slid between the hook and loop, instead of prying.

Once you have the grill off you will see the speed nuts.

I'd put one of the pic's from the manual in here, but it dosen't show any thing you haven't discovered by removing the fasteners

Bow Tie

Mine goes in the shop tomorrow for a new hood blanket ( was torn when purchased) and both bow tie emblems are discolored. They are replaceing both of them, but I'm thinking of keeping the one on the tailgate off. I'll see what they do to the front. Chris :thumbs

I personally think the factory Bow Tie on the grille looks awfull. Maybe somone could come up with a removal kit. Axiom where are you when we really need you?

Rear Bowtie

Mine goes in the shop tomorrow for a new hood blanket ( was torn when purchased) and both bow tie emblems are discolored. They are replaceing both of them, but I'm thinking of keeping the one on the tailgate off. I'll see what they do to the front. Chris :thumbs

If you leave the rear bowtie off there are two holes that are going to nee to be filled and painted :mad

No, I think the tailgate is off of another suv or truck.
