Belongs on a corvette.

Belongs on a corvette.

It's similar to the one they used to use on impala's in the 50's-60's. Is there another Chevy V8 symbol to use?

Maybe if you had an SS, but with a LS

If the bowtie doesn't look right, shave it.

How about this

This is the exact part missing from mine. What do you guys think, black on black with chrome accents?

That would be the best thing to do if you still wanted your rear bowtie. Can't go wrong with the vinyl inlays

just clean of the glue/gunk w/ goo gone and polish it up.
i think it looks pretty good all cleaned up

I agree that it looks good on yours, but it looks like too much chrome on black imho

Mine fell off years ago and I sold the replacement one that I got when it was under warranty to someone over on TV.

did the whole emblem fall off or just the inside sticker?

Debadgeing was one of my first mods

(pay no attention to the TV decal!!!)

but after shaving the moldings, I decided the sides was to plain so I added OEM badges

I have de-badged every vehicle I've owned in the past 6-7 years. Haven't found one yet that didn't look better afterwards. My TB is black and it looks great. I even blacked out my bowtie in the grill. The gold only lasted about a week after I bought it. Couldn't stand the way it looked.

No sorry. I can take some tomorrow (weather permitting) and post them up.

I have a rust problem on my hood.

Picked up some plasti dip today, going to do the emblems black this week.

Are you doing your crossbar emblem? Is your crossbar black or chrome?

yes, and it's chrome. I'll think it'll look sweet.

 

[Showtyme]

Or u could plasti the whole thing. Depends on if u like the chrome or not.

I like the chrome actually. We'll see though, I was thinking about that

 

[Showtyme]

Looks good either way IMO. I do love black though. Anything is better than gold :thumbup:
