***************************/index.php?m...f4ba8de03da29f lots of pre made custem bowtiws for our car! and for $25 they paint it anyway you like!! But if you want something plane like black bowtie then just paint it your self it very easy. allot easier then I tout it would be and came out grate and I did not know what I was doing I just used a how-to on the site.

here the guide I used https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ghlight=bowtie read it you see how easy it really is!!! I have no painting experience before hand and was amazed the way it came out!!!





Back bowtie as well:


p.s Only cost $20 in supplys ( would been cheaper if I did not have buy a ratchet set)
the cost should be half that if you got the tools, I had no tools so yea had to invest.

I painted mine black, but I did the whole thing...should have left the chrome...I'll probably just pick up another badge and try it again.

I like how yours turned out liljone.

Looks good, but I still think the chrome trim un-painted looks better, just my opinion though.

take the bowtie off. scruff it up with sand paper tape off the silver if you wanna keep it and spray paint it.
no primer needed

looks good imo

i painted mine black and looks 100% legit
