alright! so here's my dilemma:

i removed the front "bowtie" and seperated it from the chrome trim!! i plan on painting it gunmetal!! think it will look pretty sweet imo... now what i'm wondering is what would look better? the back bowtie matched to the same!! gunmetal chrome trim piece??? or just remove it all together??? i don't really wanna de-badge the whole rear just yet cause i kinda like the looks of it, maybe de-badge it later on down the road but right now i like the looks of it!! but i do think it will look alot cleaner with it removed!! what do u guys think would be best?

 

leave the chrome bezal around the bowtie, paint the gold bowtie gunmetal.....thats what i did on my silver balt and it looks better with the chrome around the edges...just my opinion though

 

yea what he said that would look sweet

 

is the rear held on the same as the front?? with a strip of 2-way tape underneath it?? if that's the case i can just take a heatgun to the emblem while it's on the car and pop the gold piece off and paint it and re-install it in the same location without guessing where it is!

 

are u coming up for speed sport? i have an extra front bowtie... i'll just give it to you. that way if you wanted to try out 2 different painting patterns

 

the back one is held on with 2 sided tape, the front one is held on by self threading nuts.
i would match the rear that would look good, im like you i dis like the de badged look on our cars, thats why im taking everything off my old trunk and putting it on my CF trunk

 

yeah i'll be coming up for speed sport i think!! maybe i will grab it off ya!! i might try one with the chrome piece painted black and the gold piece painted colour matched to the car!!

i donno how your front bowtie was held on!! mine was on with the screws but the gold piece was held on to the chrome trim with a strip of two-way tape! i already have it seperated just have to wait for warmer weather to paint it outside!, just curious if the gold piece comes off the chrome trim on the back like it does the front! i know the complete emblem is 2-way'd taped on the back and it's not screwed in just curious about the gold and the chrome, prob pretty much the same so the gold is 2-wayed on to the chrome backing... if that's the case i'll just heat it up while on the car pop the gold off paint it and slap it back on the chrome trim thus eliminating the guess work of where the emblem goes!

 

I'm looking at getting the gold bowtie piece replaced with carbon fiber but leaving the base chrome

 

really? you can take the gold out of the chrome? crazy!!! lol
i never knew that.

 

ha ha yes chris u can!! i already have my front one apart!! the gold piece is held in by a strip of 2-way tape a little heat and it pops right off

cf bowties would be sweet though!!!

 

ya thats what i wanted, to matchmy CF hood and Trunk. never know maybe some day i might get them.
im more worried about the turbo getting installed before April thats all.
Clutch goes in tuesday!
