Default billet grille bow-tie emblem questions...need help!

I have been searching the forums, and so far the only thing I could find was the 69 chevelle bowtie emblem fits...well I am looking for a gold or silver finish bow-tie to fit my billet grille. Anyone know where I can get one? The chevelle emblem I found is blue, and I dont think the blue will look right on my car because its sunset red/cayenne red (not sure of what they call the color exactly, it has metallic flake in it. Anyway, if anyone knows what emblems can be used and from what vehicles to take them off of, and it will fit the grille, or where to order one, please let me know! Thanks guys!

A billet Bowtie from a full size Chevy should fit. An 88-98 style probably has the proper bend to it. The one I had from my S10 doesn't have enough bend to it to sit right on the grill.

I am 85% sure the Gold Bowtie Emblem a lot of people use is off a 65-ish Impala. I want to get that one instead of the Blue one off the Chevelle.

do you know where to get the decals at? that would make the finished product a whole lot easier to get to. ya i was looking at the silverados and they have what i want, i just dont know if it fits. anyone wanna tear the emblem off their silvy to see if it fits

In my opinion, Might aswell get one that looks original, the vynal might make it look cheap.

Honestly its been so long that i have had these wheels im not so sure about the offset, ill look in my file cabinet for the receipt from discount tire.

The size on the rears is 18x10.5 and the fronts are 18x9.5, rear tires are BFG Gforce DR's 315/30/18 fronts are Nitto 555 275/35/18.

The plan was to buy 69 chevelle bowtie and paint it black with silver outlines, and i'm still contemplating it...
