My girlfriend really like's the look of the original tailgate I kinda like it too but do you think it will look goofy having not bowtie on the front and a chevy tailgate ?. We both did not like the bowtie on the grill. So what do you think ? Should I go all the way and put a smoothe tailgate skin and handle relocator on too ?

i dunno what you should do now, i like all the badges so id say keep the tailgate original, but now that it has been shaved maybe you should shavethe tailgate

Nix the bowtie but don't go with a FLAT tailgate panel. They look sort of "homemade" in my opinion.

Look at the panels that go over the tailgate, and have an embossed bowtie in it . Almost flat, but not. The bowtie is fairly subtle, you could paint it a shadow color so it wouldn't be loud.

I want to shave mine, but put the bowtie in ghost paint I guess you would call it.
