The cars with adaptive cruise control have a different grill with the sleeker one-piece cover with integrated bow tie.

 

Thanks. Adaptive cruise control is something we are looking for so now we know. Is that the case on all Gen2s? The one we noticed it on was a 2019

 

To clarify from the post above, that there are different emblems for cars with Adaptive Cruise Control is true across the entire Gen 2 line, but not that all Gen 2 have this flat emblem. The flat emblem plate is a reliable indicator of ACC, and the 3D molded emblem is a reliable indicator that the car doesn't have ACC.

 

Yes. Also no black bow tie option on the Adaptive cars because of the special cover.

 

Is there any way to remove this plastic panel on the volt with ACC? Im trying to find a way to make the emblem black but I cannot find out how to remove the plastic piece from the car.

 

carson.chan2007,

No ACC is rare in Volts, you need a 2017+ Volt Premier along with comfort packages 1 and 2 along with ACC option on top of those to get it. The painted 3 piece grille with the flush bow tie emblem is designed to not interfere with the Lidar antenna behind it. If you remove or modify that panel you could disable ACC or make it inaccurate. Frankly style aside, it is a blessing to have ACC in a Volt, I use my Clarity ACC every day. If you must have a black "bow tie" emblem most sign shops can make you a stick on one of quality materials resistant to sun fade to just apply over the stock gold emblem, just an idea.
