They were added for the '06 model year & forward. Easiest way to remove them is a bit of heat from a hair dryer & then use some dental floss behind the emblem to work it off.

Hopefully, this is not a tacit admission by GM that they are going back to the days when they made crappy cars, yet still made money?

Our 2009 was made before the bankruptcy, purchased during the bankruptcy, and now being driven after the bankruptcy.

I've left the chicklets in place, as a sort of "historical marker."
