And I don't know if you would call this a mod, but removed the bow-tie on the back too:

The only gold left on the truck is on the centercaps.

Sweet! The billet looks great on the SS!

[Blulytes]

looks very nice!!!!
all around!

[ieatglue]

That' how it should have been made, Good job :yes:

[Dave]

Nice job!

[Sentinel]

nice where did you get the silver one from?

[BlackSSinMN]

nice where did you get the silver one from?

Same question, looks great! I certainly need to get one of those! Was the installation tough?

[TX_SS]

Its from Empire Motorsports, but several of the forum sponsors like Stylin Concepts and StreetBeat on the main page have them as well. It was not hard to install once I decided I didn't need to remove the entire grill. I undid the top 4 clips and then the one directly behind the bow-tie, and I was able to reach my arm in and unbolt (there are 2 10mm) the factory piece. There is a tech article under the "articles" section of this site that shows where the clips are. I used that as a guide.

[FattyTBEXT]

Scott, I bought vinyl carbon fiber overlays to cover the bowties on my center caps. Do a Google search for Brent Franker (the overlays are on a subpage of BadZ28.com) and he can do them for you if you're interested. He's a nice guy too. And I agree the new bowtie on the grille looks great. :yes:

Note: When I first glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said "snapped the bow-tie today." I was thinking "Oh s**t!"

[Vince]

Same here. I hate that gold color.

[T-Blaze SS]

Very nice, I definitely want to do that too! I agree it should have come like that from the factory! If anyone does it on a black one before I do, please post pics!

[Vince]

Here's a couple shots of mine. It's brushed billet, not polished though.

I assume that the rear bowtie is only attached with sticky tape??

Thanks

[TX_SS]

Yes the rear piece has double stick tape under it. What a PITA to remove too. I have taken any badges/molding off all previous vehicles I have owned and this little piece was by far the worst.

A little trick I heard about (but havent tried myself yet) is using dental floss to wedge your way behind the emblem and through the tape.

Similar to dental floss, I used fishing line, and it did cut the emblem from the tape, but left the tape on the truck. So thats where the difficulty came from.

Goo Gone or Un-Do sticker remover cane be found at most parts stores. They do a good job.

[Wavydavy GTO]

How hard would it be to remove the bowtie from the molding on the back and replace it with a billet piece like the front? I don't mind it being back there but would rather it not be gold.

[BLKTBSS]

Just peel off the gold on the back and remove the adhesive with goo-be-gone. It looks chrome or high polished once the sticker is removed. Use a razor blade.

[TonyGXP]

You guys should check this place out. Ryan is the contact there, if you Email him he will make up whatever you ask, he's been workin with our cars for a month or two and has come up with all kinds of vinyl overlays that look incredible..Quick shipment, custom work, very cheap also, he could charge alot more for the quality of his work..I myself would ask him for a Bowtie overlay of chrome/black outline, would look awsome or red bowtie/black outline.
I just received an overlay for my Pontiac emblem on the front to cover the red on my Black GXP and it looks way classier now, along with the third brake light overlay "GXP" very nice, Email him and he will work on ones for your trucks, had my ideas up in less than 2 days!

Think of how badass that SS would be with a nice "6.0 LS2" or "395 H.P." decal in any color outlined in whatever, as big or small as you need..Right on the fender in the traditional "spot" behind the wheel well..Now your talking "BadASS SS"

[FattyTBEXT]

Tony, our trucks aren't listed on his site yet. Any idea exactly what he has for them? :undecided

[ammrpm]

TX_SS - the TB looks great! I see you got yours from Munday chevy also. I actually looked at yours before I bought the black one. I plan on getting rid of the gold bow ties as well. Just gotta wait for Christmas to get here.

[Fishhunter911]

I removed the "trailblazer" and the bowtie from the back.... only thing it says now is SS... looks so much cleaner.... that back bowtie SUCKED. Took me an hour and half using a hair dryer on low and goo-gone.... but it looks sooo good. I can attest that Ryan is awesome to deal with. I think I may see if he can come up with a "395 HP" for the hood. Put it on the raised area near the front. what do u think about that???

[TX_SS]

Thanks! Yes I bought the truck at Munday. I think they were the only ones who had a silver one in Houston when I bought it, the day after Thanksgiving. I looked at your black one, but knew it was too much for me to keep clean as I travel every week. Congrats on the purchase. I have not seen another one on the road yet in Houston.

[westbayou]

I took off the rear bowtie myself yesterday after reading this post. It only took me about 5 minutes. I used a strand of 50lb test fishing line after discovering that dental floss just isn't strong enough. The 50lb test did the trick, had the bowtie off in like 1 minute, and it took me about 4 minutes to scrape off most of the tape using my fingernail. All I need to do today is use a little Goo-gone to get the remaining residue off. I think it cleaned up the rear quite a bit, and now I am debating taking off the "Trailblazer" badge as well. I am definitely interested in a brushed aluminum bowtie for the front!

[B 4 U]

I replaced the front plastic bow-tie on my grill last night with a polished billet aluminum one from Empire Motorsports. It makes the front of my white SS look 1000% better. The "removing grill" pictures under the "articles" section was invaluable. The rear bow-tie is next along with the trailblazer badge. Now if I can only find someway to mount my front license plate without drilling holes in my bumper.

[Blulytes]

INow if I can only find someway to mount my front license plate without drilling holes in my bumper.

I have a friend who did this on his old grand cherokee... I don't know where he got them from... but he got 2 50lbs magnets (probably alittle over the top) put some very soft weather stripping on the back of his license plate and then got the magnets up behind the bumper shroud and it works on holding his license plate without drilling. Even driving at highway speeds... (thats probably why he got the 2 50lbs magnets)

Now I don't know how thick his bumper cover is, but its worth a shot, right?

(I love living in PA, where we do not have front plates:raspberry )

[lacer_2005]

I want to replace my bow-ties with silver, they look sharp and there isn't another stitch of gold on my truck except those two bow-ties. I know where to get the front one but is there a replacement back one?? I know a post earlier said to just peel the covering off but I'd rather replace since mine is cracking along the edges anyway.

Looks like Empire Motorsports has a part number 205 - "mini bow tie" that is 2 7/8" long by 1 1/4" tall and comes with double stick tape already installed. I think that is about the size of the factory piece and would work as a replacement. You could pick up a front and back from them all in one shot.

[lacer_2005]

Thanks! Looks like for approx. $50-55 plus shipping I could be set:). Now to just recover from my current two purchases first:duh:

[TrailblazerSS]

If you want chrome might try autoaccesory4you.com. Replaces the existing, not an overlay.
I got mine there. Quality and good price.

Thanks for the link guys that looks great, did you got with the Polished or the Chrome? I would think Chrome is the way to go, but was just wondering what others were doing?

[blautens]

Like "B 4 U", I debadged the rear entirely (except for the "SS" logo, of course) and ordered a polished aluminum for the front.

But I would think chrome would like nice, too.

Either way is an improvement over the gold plastic Chevy logo, especially for those of us with Silverstone Metallic.

Okay, will this fit an '05...anyone know?? It only specifies 02-04 but I didn't think the grilles were any different:confused:

[BlackSSinMN]

TS SS I have a question for you, did you remove the grill just as the tech article describes? I was pulling pretty hard and felt like I was going to break the grill before any of the clips came undone, just wondering if you used any tools or if you just have to REALLY pull on it to get it off. Thanks for the help!

[TB SS]

I just performed this mod today. It does take quite a bit of force to remove some of the clips, but they do pop before the grill breaks. :D Follow the instructions here on the site, poping each clip in the order perscribed. Here are some images of the grill removed for reference:

For those wanting to reproduce this, the billet bowtie with perimeter line is by Empire Motor Sports, Rancho Cucamonga, CA (P/N TB232P). The SS emblem is GM P/N 22723625. It's not overstated and almost looks like it came that way stock. The billet bowtie balances nicely with the lower air dam chrome.

I also took care of the rear bowtie by taking off the gold overlay as mentioned earlier in this thread. It's a great touch that I highly recommend if you don't like the gold and want the chrome. Note the Elite brand SS hitch cover the wife just got me:

Well, the post below has it on an '06 SS so it should fit an '05 or '06 just fine.

[Z06 Tom]

I think the "SS" is up-side down... Looks VERY good though!!

[TB SS]

Yeah.. that was pointed out in another thread! I've already made the change but unfortunately scratched up the billet in the process. It does look even better with the SS in the correct orientation! :duh: It looks very stock looking (i.e. not out of place or gaudy). I have another billet and SS on order (I'm a perfectionist :duh: ) and will post an updated picture when that is on the TB SS. Even scratched up a bit.. it is 1000% better than the stock gold bowtie. :yes:

[scjzman]

Looks good. It should have come like that. I'll be ordering one of those soon.

Do you have the GM part number for the "SS"? I have the billet bow-tie, but I haven't installed it yet. The one I got doesn't have the indentation around the edge... Your's looks great BTW!!http://forums.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Looks Good, thats something I need to consider doing

[BlackSSinMN]

Just a FYI for those considering a chrome bowtie. Just got and installed a Chrome Bowtie from AutoAccessory4u.com, exact same fit as the all plastic ugly gold stock one TB's come with. It's all chrome with REAL metal bolts and screws, fit perfectly and looks great. Took over three weeks to get, but I guess it was worth the wait, put a couple coats of Chrome Polish on it and it really shines, I'll post a couple pics soon.

[02redhawk]

Anyone know the GM P/N for the stock GOLD bowtie for the front grille?

Or, for that matter, anyone of you that has removed your stock gold front bowtie want to sell it? Mine on my SS just got whacked by a rock and is chipped & cracked. Would like to replace it with another 'stock' one that is in as new of condition as possible.

Send me a PM..!

TIA!

I ordered a billet one for my SS last week. If you want my gold one, make me an offer... The truck is brand new. (12/28)

what do think about a black overlay on the front, with the SS in chrome on top??

by the way I just traded in my GP GXP (3k mi) for mine about....6hrs ago!!what a truck.

Come on Tony- Tell us how much you'll miss your GXP!! :duh:

I still can't believe you, of all people, got rid of that car!! Are you going to go all the other boards now and tell them how they should've got a truck and how it'll beat all thier sports cars?? :rotfl: :eek: :thumbsup:

[TonyGXP]

I never showed any disrespect on this board, as you can see I put my money where my mouth is, I loved this truck when i first heard about it, and now I have the one I wanted;) , and hate to break the news to you, but mine is quick, but aint runnin a 13.6 @ 102+....so GXP is still the winner stock vs. stock for now, just needed to make the change for NUMEROUS reasons, and it wasen't a bad deal for me, if you catch my drift! lol

So that's something that I could do on a lease that would be easy to put back to stock? I LOVE how that looks with the silver bowtie.

I dunno about you guys but I am waiting for the billet aluminum CHROME bowties with the ENGRAVED SS inlays, he does them in black, blue and other colors, in the inlay....check them out here, I BET you will be glad you did, but they aren't quite ready yet!

[SilverSS]

KCO,

Thanks for that link. I contacted Brad (Shopman1) and he said the TBSS bowties were in the works and he hoped to have something in about a month. I was thinking something like that with the right SS font would look sweet. Hmmm...Black, Blue or Red...what would look best on a Silver SS?

I also suggested to him that maybe some "SS" center caps for the TBSS stock wheels might be a hit...I know I'd buy a set to replace those gold bowties.

I was just on the Grafxwerks site, they have our "SS" logos done and some other decals, looks pretty cool..anyone talk to Ryan lately??

added this, they got the "B" pillar covers, center cap overlays, rear bowtie, bumper reflectors, I am very pleased my SS will be customized to fit my tastes very soon, the way Chevy should've done in the first place..Even the Envoy's B pillars are blacked out!!

Thanks for the update. It seems that other thread got taken down (vendor agreement stuff i'm guessing). I'm so excited for that stuff.

I think I am getting a white bowtie for the rear to match the "SS", it kinda grew on me, also the rear refelector overlays?? maybe black or silver to match the color of the truck? what color wheel bowties were you thinking of? I am thinking white or black again as my truck is primarily Silver/Black/White..this is a little confusing..

I am most definately getting those B pillar covers today!

I'm having a hard time deciding exactly what I want to do. I may have to photoshop my options. At first, I was thinking that I wanted an all black/chrome theme. My plan was to...

1. Remove white from SS badges leaving just chrome (order a backup set for when/if I turn in the lease)
2. Remove gold part from rear bowtie leaving just chrome
3. Replace front bowtie with chrome billet bowtie (from company I forgot the name of)
4. Cover gold bowties in wheels with black bowties

he's sending me samples of the "flat" and "reg" black B pillar overlays, I will post pics when I get them...all the rest I am pretty sure I will be happy with...Just wish he could or someone could make a "6.0" or "LS2" emblem, like the SS's...that would look great in place of the "Trailblazer" and I don't like the GTO's, seen it already looks odd on the SS.

I am talking about an EMBLEM, not a decal...:duh: I believe you are talented, but not that talented:rotfl:

[1BADSS]

You watch.. I'll show you just how talented I am..:laugh:

You watch.. I'll show you just how talented I am..:laugh:

are you talented enough to make your SS appear anytime soon?:dielaugh:

I love doing that to you, because you have too many toys already...:raspberry

[1BADSS]

Never enough toys.Dealers saying by next week..Then it's mod time..I'm going to ask for a favor from you when I get it.LOL. I'm getting a run around at the Dodge dealer so if they dont hurry up and get my car I'm going to tell them to shove it.I'm 13th on their list and only 3 have come in.Now their saying Chrysler may not give them enough allocation(whatever that means) So I may not be able to get one unless someone cancels.If that happens I'm going to buy this toy for summer.

Nah.. They're nice and all but I couldn't spend that kind of dough on 1 car plus I'd have to work my a$$ off just to pay insurance and parts for the damn thing.Plus I actually enjoy being married:eek: Even the new Z06 is an awesome car but here it's like $115,000 + 15% tax So i'll just stick to my little cars.

I got the bowtie with the SS made in it from Shopman1. It is wider than the stock and won't fit into the area where the stock bowtie came out of. Is this how it is supposed to fit?
