I guess you take the gold part of your emblem off the silver back and stick this piece of powder coated aluminum in.

Sound like a good deal?

I don't like the idea of using overlays for some reason

You could just save a bunch of money, and take your gold one off, paint it black, and reapply it.

i dont think my gold piece is gonna come off in one piece its really stuck on

RickAKATed10 02-10-2011 11:49 AM

Hair drier to warm and loosen the glue, fishing line or even dental floss to do the rest. Worth a shot.

red04montels 02-10-2011 12:06 PM

dont take it off then, get a bunch of newpaper and cover virtually the whole car except for the bowtie, you really only have to cover the front end to save from overspray, then just paint black and then clearcoat... should take about an hour and save you the money

xxtheshockerxx 02-17-2011 06:39 PM

got those bowties today....they look great imo

i will post pics later on tonight

looks very nice, but that front plate looks kinda hideous, sucks you have to have 2 where you live..:(

now all you need is a cool 3rd brake light overlay!

i was thinkin if getting custom plates then i could get rid of the ugly blue/white iowa plate

ss overlays are next then i might think of a 3rd brake overlay...but idk what i would want it to say

lougreen03 02-18-2011 01:53 AM

They look real good, way better than the gold. Maybe you should get those blacked out tail and reverse lights.

RickAKATed10 02-18-2011 09:08 AM

Those are very nice looking. Something Mr. Burns needs desperately.

xxtheshockerxx 02-18-2011 11:34 AM

i really recommend them they are pretty easy to apply and look 1000xs better than the stock gold bowties....and i think they look better than overlays

RickAKATed10 02-18-2011 12:57 PM

Definitely better than overlays. I think I'll have mine painted this spring.

kingjames86 02-18-2011 03:16 PM

I winder if they got something just like that except silver (like the same silver that the SS badge is)

xxtheshockerxx 02-18-2011 04:20 PM

They make the ones I got that are inserts and they make black or silver that replace the whole emblem....when I get home I will post some links

yea i had the depo black headlights but ended up selling em to get my lady friend a christmas gift :rolleyes: not looking to sink too much money in it though as i plan on trading it in for an ss version in a year or two. but since the rear emblem popped out anyways and that one looks sweet might as well go for it!
