a hair dryer and careful peeling should remedy that unsightly blemish! and while you're at it, might as well get that front tag mount off as well.

Congratulatin Jeff. It looks beautiful.
I am in Columiba SC, and I am planning on ordering mine soon. I am trying to find a good dealer to deal with.
Are you happy with Marathan Chevrolet?
If you don't mind, can tell me how much did you pay under MSRP, or how much did you pay above invoice?

Thanks

Front Lic plate bracket was held on by 2 sided tape...has been removed ... little time with the hair dryer and the rear stickers are gone.

I am very happy with Marathon Chevy!

As far as mods go....Where do I start ?
