Looks killer! as a small suggestion though, drop the red bowtie and make it silver, the red looks goofy on the blue

Looks damn good man! Very unique.


You ever think about doing it like this? Have the black in the same place and have the NBM where the HO is...and have the bowtie silver.

I love the way it looks. BTW this is HOSS's car, he's a buddy of mine.

i couldnt decide on a color for the bowtie, and remembering my ex's car, i decided on red. we did hers in silver and it just didnt look right... but ill give it a shot, its easy enough to take off and paint lol.

tbird= next time i take the grille off i will be painting it the same way as the ss pictured is, it just isnt obvious enough right now that it is painted, and i think that style would make it more obvious

That looks good. Different but good. Great work on masking it off and painting it. I was looking at the pics for awhle and was wondering what if you painted it all black and had a blue bowtie. Or color match the grill with a black bowtie. Just an idea for something down the line.
