max power Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Need opinions on what to do to dress up the great white whale.The Bowtie emblem is cracked (bugs the shit out of me) and I want to replace it. The nose currently looks like this:I have been trying to decide which aftermarket replacement badge to put on it, Billet, chrome or black seem to be my only choices other than OEM.I have it narrowed down to these:Blackhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250712109041Chrome:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350258934164and Billet with outline:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370490862464Keep in mind that it also needs tires and I am also considering having the wheels PC'd black :dunno:before I do it since they are getting a little corrosion on them, which also bugs the shit out of me.What would you guys do? Any other wheel colors you would consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmh_sprint Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Since it's a Chevy, a pint or so of gas in can and a match under the engine will give you a nice dark color to offset all that white. I'd go with the billet the chrome would blend in and the black would look like the gold bow tie had fallen off IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'd say the chrome bow tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that the chrome blending in would be a bad thing, but I do like the traditional outline on the billet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiztedRabbit Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 white and chrome...cant have you copying my black on black theme im going to start on my suburban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Definitely not doing the wheels in white....as baller as that may be. Thinking flat black (to eliminate worrys about scratches) or maybe gray like it is now, or charcoal...but the interior is tan, so that probably wouldnt look right.

RFM Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 A-Team it. Black with the stripe, and put a fin on it. If that isn't subtle enough for you, a nice understated General Lee motif might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
