I was thinking smaller, and just on the top part so you'd look down on it.

how it's done in that pic is way too big, IMO

The red turbo SS w/ fog light area painted, and yellow SS with the Eaton H/E stencil Look the best.

I am going to do this to my car soon along with black projectors. I have a silver car with black wheels what color should I repaint my bowties (black currently) as I want to still be able to see the front bowtie. Silver? Gold?

All depends on your "theme". Have you done anything with the other badges? If you removed them all, then I'd say silver so it blends in better, but if you've left the rest on then I'd stick with the gold bowtie since it'll look more "stock". Just my opinion though.
