Willoverkill Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 The bowtie on my grill isnt in the best of shape. Colors starting to come off the background. I looked on ebay but theres tons of them. Has anyone else put something else on there then OEM? I see they make stickers to cover it but thats kinda not the way I want to go is it? The truck is black so if the bowtie was Im sure it would look good. What years would work for the 03? Ideas? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03BlkSS86 Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Alot of the members here have gone with whats called a shopmans bowtie. He's a member on the site and does great work. If im not mistaken its a billet bowtie with SS etched into the middle in w.e color you'd prefer. I myself will be buying one soon. I dont have any pics of them but I'm sure another member could help out or shopman himself may chime in. Or you could have your local body shop paint it to match the truck like they did mine. thats about as close as a shot as I have to what it looks like. hope it helps.

Eddie Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I have a Shopman1 bowtie. Allot of people here have the chrome one. He did a polished aluminum one for me to match the brake ducts and SS badges. http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/index.php?app=garage&do=view&tab=mods&id=118&mod_id=1804 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willoverkill Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Im stuck deciding on color. Black vs polished I think would be my two picks.... Im just worried the black on the truck doesnt match the black on the bowtie, that would bother me.. So if I offset the colors then I wont have to worry about it.. haha, and all the people infront of me could see the nice big bowtie in their back window. I do like the custom SS, but thats money thats not in the bank right now. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwest94 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I got one from shopman and painted the inside of the SS black myself and it all still looks good 6yrs later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 with seeing yours I may just have to have him do polished aluminum for me as well. Did it cost you any extra? It was the same price. Maybe it brushed aluminum. Always the truck is all black and gray. I wanted to stay with those colors and not add anything that looks like chrome. He'll know what you want. He is a great guy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
