So I finally got my hands on an ss front bumper and lip. Now just trying to figure out what I'm going to do about he bowtie.. I've seen how I can put the Pontiac grill and emble on the ss front bumper but honestly I don't love that look. I've thought about dremeling off the top and bottom of the bowtie but just not sure if it would look like its missing something.. Any advice, pics?
Here's what m bumper looks like now


And here's what's waiting togo to the body shop. :P

 

Buy the emblem and black it out..or get a cf one as for the grille.. get a honecomb one off a tc and thank me later

 

I'm already getting the honeycomb grill. But I don't want a bowtie on my g5. :P

 

Get one cuz its gonna look ugly without it , trust me lol

 

or just leave the chevy badge off and dremel off the bottom part of the crossbar where the chevy badge was. Then fill in the holes. might look cleaner and easier though if u just put a pontiac badge or another badge over that area instead though

 

But if the painter can make it look good then go ahead lol

 

Yeah I say if you don't want the bowtie cut out the bar and get an aftermarket grill like that mesh stuff they sell you can cut down and bend and use it for a grill. They make a black plastic honeycomb mesh you can buy and cut to desired length and width forwhateve allocation you want. Its on ebay but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere.

 

I'm thinking about just putting Velcro where the bowtie should be and just having a universal front bumper that easily allows me to change emblems whenever I would like..

 

Or having it stolen lol. My old emblem got stolen right off the car. I had only used the strong ass 3m tape though lol.

 

She would have to take the. Emblem off the car everytime she goes somewhere lmao

 

So you dont want the g5 grille on the ss bumper? Why not put the pontiac emblem on where the chevy bowtie would be? Pm me if you gonna get rid of your g5 grille im interested in buying it

 

i love the look of the g5 gt

 

My vote

 

cut out the middle piece, make your own grille, no emblem ta-daa

 

thats what i suggested. my dilemma is lip or get regular ss bumper... i like the look without the lip i just hate all the damn holes in my bumper.

99 Saturn SC2, an old LLO... i kinda miss my saturn... fun car for what it was. I had a 94 SL2

 

Well dropped off the bumper and lip today... He's thinking $700ish for painting/fixing/and the bowtie deal. :P and he's actually gonna try to heat up the top and bottom of the bowtie and fold it backwards so it doesn't look like the edges are missing in the middle..

 

 

looks good

 

 

i need a tc grille -_- lol. will you be adding a pontiac badge on the front or something? looks gooooood beside that

 

Nice so u went and ddemeled off the excess and rockin no badge! Is that a black bottom lip i see?

 

yepp^^ got a local yellow tc thats rocking a carbon fiber lip...looks so good lol

 

Oh hell yeah beats the base model look anyday of the week!

 

It's just gonna stay naked for now. thanks

 

A tc lower grille would be nice, but gee you're really doing good work with that car, Sarah.
