Default New Front Bow Tie

Here is my new front bow tie.
Just got done installing it. I love the way it looks. It is made by grafxwerks.
I got it from BuffaloSS. Thanks Chris!!!
I wanted to just do a Black front bow tie untill I found BufalloSS post about this one.
Now I have to make the rear bow tie black.

WOW! That looks great on there! You mind if I pass those pics on to Ryan for advertising purposes??

Also, why'd you stop the mesh grill at the top? You doing the bottom, too? Looks good!

Chris,
Yeah you can pass them on. I'll be washing the car soon and taking some better pics on a sunnier day, suppose to be nicer out this week so if he wants I can send them those too.

I had a piece for the bottom Grill, but I really didn't like the way it looked. It was abit too much I think. So I left it the way it is now

Home depot carries that "expanded metal" stuff. I was considering purchasing a sheet of it and painting it black.

Nacho,
I got it from ebay. Seller is automotiveauthority. The mesh is very cheap looking when you look at it very close but looks great on the car LOL. I think it is gutter guard mesh LOL. It comes precut but I srill had to cut a bit to make it a good fit. It is cheap too about $25

Well, ryan (grafxwerks) can do wonders with that stuff. I bet he could do the vinyl for the chrome outline and do a plain black insert. Or you could paint it for less.

Yeah I got it too. Defionatly had to cut mine....I'm wondering how it would look on the bottom grille, I know the Impala kit has a lower grille.

I think I'd like a black bowtie with red outliine....

I've ordered a set of Metallic Black with bright red outlines on the SS covers for the Doors, Front tie, and rear tie. Along with the metallic black with bright red outlines for the rear SS emblem. Custom 3rd brake light cover reading "SS"

Haha! That's what I'm going to do for the front grilles on my SS. Measure it out, paint it black, and insert it over the stock.
