Who Sales Billet Grill with Bow tie????? I remember reading on an old thread about a company that produces Powder coated Billet grills with Blue chevy bowties. I searched the forum several times and found nothing, simply tips to DIY. Does anyone have a clue what I am talking about or am I blowing smoke????

No one on ebay sells powder coated black grilles. You have to buy a grille and have it powder coated black.
Grilles are $50 on ebay + $25 shipping (average) so you pay $75.
Powder coat for one object like that will run $45 (average).
There is only ONE SPECIFIC EMBLEM that fits these grilles. It is the 1969 CHEVELLE Blue Bowtie. I haven't found those for less than $65 shipped.
How do I know all this? I tried to get a GP going and sell some (was going to try to save/make money on the powder coat, get a discount for multiple objects).
After shipping I lost money on every grille and lost more money on one that had a powder coat issue.
Regardless, there's the steps laid out for you to get what you want
You could have the grille shipped straight to Silver Ghost for the powder coating... Trending Topics

No I am not. I have actually designed my own grille for our cars and am waiting to pick up a final production piece:

It is far nicer than the billet grilles if you want to wait. Other wise I would order a billet grille off ebay or somewhere and have it shipped to Silver Ghost for powder coating.

this is the only pic he posted of the grille installed on a Z28. his name is Rick and his username is "The Prototype" on 35thLE.com, you can make an account there and contact him if you like his work. i've heard nothing but good things about his work, he makes different styles of the GMMG grilles.

Anyways, that bowtie is larger and doesn't fit as flush. Pretty sure it is the 1969 Camaro bowtie instead of Chevelle.
