I think most people use double sided 3M adhesive tape. Just off the top of my head.

Berger camaros come with red bowties.

I used 3M double sided moulding tape as well for all my emblems, and nothing has fallen off.

Last I checked, Berger will not sell the red bowtie out right, so I'm wondering where can you purchase a red bowtie emblem for the grill?

could you not use the one that is on the front of the LT1 cars? it has a bend to it, and should be the right size. you could get one at any chevy dealership i am sure.

if he wants a metal one, then i guess he better look at something older than the 1980's from chevy i know the SS emblem that everyone uses is from a 70 chevelle, so maybe check year one for something during that year. there is also a guy in this forum making his own stainless emblems now, he might could make you one.

I believe that Red bowtie cannot be had. I think it was actually custom made. The only red one I have seen was off of a truck and it didn't look like the one on the Hot Rod Camaros.

You can use 3M adhesive, but it looks crappy being able to see the tape (in my perfectionist opinion). It doesn't just take one small strip. It'll work fine though and hold it.

Yeah, I saw those on ebay, but they look like they are glass and I'd be worried to bend them to make them fit the grille correctly. did you have any issues?
