Real Carbon Fiber Bowties
the ford one? I can't see pics and stuff at work. But I have the CF bowtie from Melon on the front. It is real CF, not a wrap but a molded CF. Looks fantastic.

Who else wants some carbon fiber bowties?
Impossibru. I havent made any bowties yet. Lol. I may have a rear one from my old trunk stil. Let me discuss with my buddy and look into the pieces some more then I will get a price for u guys. Whole emblem carbon or u want to keep trim? Could do both but that's more molds to make and price may b slightly higher

I was talking about the CF bowtie I had.... the chrome ring thing...idk, but I hate it
the yellow center on the chrome frame is held on with adhesive. Not sure if it would have to be heated to get off nicely because the chrome tends to tear underneath when they are pulled apart since I think it is that electroplated plastic like chrome same as what is used for the door handles. May spread to the appearance edge if not careful. the Chrome frame bolts to the front bumper with 2 screws and has 3m adhesive tape for trunk emblem

The CF side mirror covers Melon did in his pictures look really good so I think the emblems should be just as awesome. I like that he used the vacuum bag method also I personally feel like that would give it a much better bond and shape. I have read on forums a lot of guys that prefer not to use that method and shape it by hand.
Is the center portion that we want carbon fiber going to be just carbon fiber covered or complete carbon fiber? Does one have more advantage over the other eg: impact resistant to foreign debris on the road (Rocks)? I am ok with either one. I want the awesome appearance and quality to get rid of the p*ss yellow cheap look on the front of my car.
