for some reason, water got inside my front bowtie and it's kind of faded also from 6 years of use. I've tried getting a wrench in there to get the nuts off but there's not enough room to do it. Is there any other way to remove the bowtie without taking off the front grille? please help asap this has been a pain in the ass.

 

I was able to get my hand down there with a socket and turn it off..

 

Same. This is what you gotta do.

 

Word

 

Yup. Pop the plastic rivets out of the top of the grill and reach in with a 10mm. Easy.

 

Aren't the bolts accessible from the bottom? I've taken mine out that way before.

 

You could do that too if you want to get on the ground.

 

Don't get on the ground lol its easy from the top. Save your back lol

 

alright I finally got the stupid ass rivets off and the bowtie. Is the gold chevy symbol glued to the chrome trim that's on it? theres a bubble of air or something underneath the gold

 

Its a gold sticker with sticky double sided adhesive holding the emblem on. Plasti dip that shiz.

 

got it figured out. I like using Krylon for plastic as well as the clearcoat, seems to hold up pretty well. I'll post some pics when it's done

 

I tried krylon myself. Worked nicely. But how does it hold up to heat? Like under the hood on the motor heat? You know? Lol

 

plasti dip has worked great for me and my bowtie and evo mod havent had to repaint them at all and they have been done for 3 years now. very hard to chip something with plasti dip and a couple coats of clear

 

i dont think my emblem will be touching the motor anytime soon lmao. We'll see when summer comes around and it gets up to 40 degrees celsius out though.

 

Was just asking, maybe you have used it under there

 

Haven't seen this thread for a bit but I'll probably never use anything but engine enamel under the hood.

 

How in the **** would you take the bolts off from the bottom? There's too many things in the way

 

Although, the krylon may hold up on the front Fascia and fuse box cover but not sure

 

Never mind just seen you have an ls lol
