Front Bowtie Replacement

I have seen a couple decked out Cobalts that have the SS badge replacing where the Chevy bowtie goes in the front... It looks sick as a muthhaa and would be very interested in doing that.. How?? The grill is outlined with the Chevy Bowtie when you take the actual bowtie emblem off lol.. Is there a how to??

The SS badges are too easy to rip off. I had two of mine stolen before I finally said eff it and bought a carbon one. Feel alot better with something that bolts on. Thieves suck!

And it's only $20. How can you beat that!? Sure it doesn't look 100% with sharp edges up close but from a far like most see it looks awesome. I love mine.

plasti-dip done right is not ghetto I've done emblems on a few different cars now and if you take your time and do it right it looks factory.

You could always paint it with spray paint or have a shop paint it for you.
