Where can you get a different looking bowtie.. the one I have on my car currently is the gold looking one, and it looks like crap imo

I want a black or CF looking one, can you buy them or do you just paint them yourself..
Any help would be awesome!

 

I painted mine with krylon black
but i have recently took it off and put the ss in front

 

i painted mine black

 

How hard is the front bowtie to take off?

 

Front bowtie is easy to take off. What color is your car, and do you have other CF parts on it? If you've got other CF accents, go with a CF bowtie. If not, just go with black.

 

Yea all u need is a 10mm socket and u should be able to twist it off with ur hand with out the wrench. 2 screws behind the grill. Or mine was just loose to begin with.

 

I have a blue granite car.... I want a CF hood eventually though... but black would go with it... so Im thinking of panting it black then.. sweet... I'll go outside and take a look for them screws

 

Yeah its like right infront of the hood latch arm. I just painted mine last week... look up one of the how to's if you need help. But once you get the bowtie off you can heat it up just slightly with a hair dryer and the gold part actually comes off the chrome so you don't have to work about painting the chrome

 

Ill even do it for ya. I painted mine black.

 

lol your in Alabama and Im in canada... slight problem lol

 

paint it any color. the gold bowtie doesnt look good on any color chevy offers especially since all stock rims are silver or chrome.

 

I painted it black... wow what a difference it makes

Car is Granite Blue.. and I have black rims so it looks good IMO..

I would take pictures... but the gf always steals my camera and shes gone for the week

 

i painted mine when i did my headlights

 

i also painted mine black with krylon. took a few coats for it to stick.

 

I used engine spray paint.. then clear coated it... incase of stones

 

Finshed the paint job and put it back one.. awesome

 

Lookin' good!

 

I painted mine like the color of the rims on the 06 SS/SC

 

The black badge also looks sick on the victory red. add in a stock grill painted black to match instead of that wierd dark gray color, and it looks real good..

i taped off the chrome outer edge, then used a 3M scotch pad to roughen up the surface, without putting deep scratches in it.. then used black PPG paint that we have in the cabinet in the garage. I'm thinking of re-doing it using the nighthawk black pearl. It's a basic black with red and gold and blue sparkle in it..

 

i just bought carbon fiber vinyl and put it over the bowtie

 

I painted mine too but you can buy pre painted/custom ones here ***************************/index.php?m...f4ba8de03da29f. It easy to paint ima noob and I did with no problem (both sides).


Here is a how-to on it: https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ghlight=bowtie this is what I used.

 

Her's Rissa's bowtie that I painted black, it turned out pretty nice(i might need to redo mine now lol)


It's blurry, but it's there...mines hiding in the background lol

 

Black definitely looks better on all colors...

 

i dunno, im pretty happy with my srtc bowtie.


and heres mine with Rissa's black bowtie on it.

 

I personally like CF.



On my ss/sc. But i'm a slight cf *****.
