I think it looks great! If you could find an SS emblem to match, and put it on the rightside of the bowtie I bet that would look awesome

Dude, it looks goofy as hell with that chevy symbol offset like that. Center it up and it'll look much, much better.

i just need some feedback on what looks good cuz most people in my area(at least that have seen it) like it offset like that..... but i hang out with a bunch of vintage muscle car(and trucks) guys.... so i needed some input from people that have the same taste as i do hahaha

it was painted black when i got it and i just used regular Gloss Black rattle can(truck and SUV paint from Shuck auto parts) to paint it and it came out perfect...... just take your time and i lightly sanded it to smooth out any chips on it..... hope that helps...
