I need a chrome bowtie for the front of the SS. Plain, no lines, no text. I know there are a lot of different options out there, so I would like some feedback before I buy anything. Obviously, I would like the look of the chrome to match the chrome at the bottom of the SS bumper. I've seen some pics where the bowtie looks like it has a different tint.

Thanks :thumbsup:

I have one that is rusted a little, and chipping. If you want it it's yours. You would need to rechrome it though...or sand it and paint it.

I appreciate the offer, but I don't have the means to restore it, I am just looking for a new one.

The problem seems to be that I can't trust anything I am finding out there. I just can't trust those sellers that claim their product will fit on 2004-2011 TrailBlazers, or the mythical 2005 SS. Then I am seeing some comments about how there is a gap around some of the ones that claim to fit the TB... so I am a little worried about what to get, and where. I just want a polished chrome bowtie with no lines, and it should fit like the stock bowtie.

Those of you that have these, where did you get them?

I've had both the chrome and polished aluminum ones from Jetttstream.

They both looked good and fit perfectly. Give him a shout. :thumbsup:

i had gotten a chrome bowtie from stylin trucks for my 03. fit was good, but after a couple summers(only had it on in summer) the chrome started peeling.
have the polished billit one from jetttstream now for my 09. good fit, good quality. :twocents:

already asked, they're not set up do to rims, said it would cost more than a new set of factory repros.
