GMC billet emblems installed!
GMC Billet emblem
I just installed a GMC billet emblem for the factory front grill of my 03 Sierra. Anyway it looks awesome. <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />
You can get it polished or float aluminum. The quality is beautiful and its a true billet pice that comes with all the installation screws, nuts and washers.
It took me about 10 minutes to put it on and it matches the rest of the chrome accents (like the bumper) perfectly! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
It isnt cheap but can be found at the manufacturers (empire motorsports) online store at http://www.empiremotorsports.com/
for $74.95.
I bought mine from Stylin Concpets for $89 then noticed the wrapping on the emblem, which said empire motorsports. Of course they had a website and then I found that hey were selling it for $15 cheaper!
Anyway if anyone wants I can post or email some pics of this emblem on my truck! I highly recommend this quick and easy mod to anyone looking to give their truck a clean and original look.

Those are nice looking, but you can also be crafty and paint your red GMC to match the truck. Costs $4 for a can of paint <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: GMC billet emblems installed!
I have shops do very little for me, I'd rather do most things myself.
It was a pain in the *** to seperate the red plastic from the chrome back, its held in place with white silicone RTV. If I were to do it again, I'd just very carefully mask off the chrome and spray it as one piece.

wasnt it a PITA to get the GMC piece apart? (trying to remember the old post)
