Default I got rid of the bow ties too...

In my opinion, Chevy's new gold bowtie is a bit too large so I shaved both of mine and replaced the front one with an SS badge. Much better!

Please tell me how you got the front one off. I don't like the gold bow tie. Stands out too much and just doesn't look right.

This isn't my car but I was thinking about doing this so I did a chop to see what it would look like. How does it look?

That's a throw back to the 80's MCSS. Reminds me of my '85. I thought about doing that if I could get the MCSS in vinyl, but can't decide on what color would work with the bright red.

I like it.
