Question HUGE bowtie on trunk

how about getting a CHEVY SILVERADO bowtie, they're HUGE !about 9" Long, 3 3/4" tall, but pricey... about $40 if you're lucky and painting it all black, on a black car.... I think it would look sexy, I have
"C O B A L T " spaced out on my trunk and the owner before me scratched the clear coat alittle when removing the stock emblem and this would cover it up nicely,

it's twice as big as the oem cobalt trunk emblem



it would look badass.

another one of my ideas is to buy a pair of "SILVERADO" emblems, the letter are over an inch high, they look about twice as bigas the cobalt letters. $40 might seem worth it beacause I can spell out my last name with these emblems "REVELS" and that would be awesome on the rocker molding or trunk

but i'm not sure if it's worth the money because my trunk looks good now but it would be nice to do one of the two.


I'll make a poll.

I was looking at a Silverado the other day and I was like holy **** that is bigger than mine or the Cobalt's bowtie, it would look awful. But painted black, I dunno... still probably not a fan

imagine that but twice as big, you can drive around and act as if you have a 9 inch emblem

JN2 thanks for that, it's awesome

HAHA i looked at buying a CRx before i bought my car but it was swapped, if you're referring to the body kit thread. how is going factory OEM look rice?

there are plenty A4's that go with RS4 body kits, plenty of benz that upgrade to the AMG sports package just for the rims, ground effects/body styling and exhausts.

should i mention GTI to r32
wrx to sti?
3 serier to m3

most do the upgrade for appearance because it looks much more appealing to the eye
