Default Thinking of emblem on the center of black billet grille.

I have a Pewter Z28 with a black billet grille on the front. I was thinking of putting an emblem at the center of the grille. I love the way the SS symbol looks on some cars, but I can't use that becase I have a Z28. I was thinking about maybe a polished stainless steel bowtie because it would go with my stainless emblems, fillins, clear corners, and chrome wheels. Either that or a retro z/28 badge. I would post pics but I cant seem to figure it out and I'm having problems with my photobucket account.
What my car looks like now:


Does anyone know where I could get a polished bowtie?

Z'mnypit I used to have your car as the backround on my computer, so beatiful car BTW. I always wondred what that thing was. Your car was actually what gave me the idea to go with something chrone at the center of my grille. Though I don;t know how it will look because my grille is black now.

Thanks for the kind words! Ill try to get a close up pic of it this weekend. I think something chrome/polished would look real good in the center of your grille.

Ive been wanting to do the same thing. I looked on ebay and found this.

Kinda pricey, but it looks pretty good. Does DragonZ28 have any?
