any front grille emglem replacemnts?

Well after finally painting my bowtie black, i'm not satisfied. Does anyone know if there are any bowties off of other cars for our car that are black or different colors? I thought I saw someone with a cavalier bowtie, I'd prefer something close to the black bowtie with the red outline like the older s10s...

It came out good, used the krylon gloos black and some clear, I like it, but just don't want the chrome. I just think a non painted emblem would be a lot sweeter

I got the ss on the nose and my buddy got a bowtie from the hood of a 1999 cavalier but you need to back it with something because it dosent have a center

Yea, i'm gonna do the SS emblem in front but I can't get the damn nuts to come back out that hold on the emblem, I might have to cut them off. As far as the floating SS, i'd just love to have a plain grille with no red center, just all black..

The bar is molded into the bumper though. What are you suppose to do just cut it out?

p7x i was trying to figure out a way to do that top one you posted, except have mesh on the top and bottom grills.. it'll look pretty good

to get it correct that way, you would probably have to use the stock radiator gaurd and cut out the grill and figure out a way to get the mesh in there huh?

We covered our emblem with vinyl to match our graphics, but we were going to use CF vinyl before we changed to the charcoal met graphics. It will cover to anything you want
