...that is the question. Should I black out the entire bowtie on the grill and rear...or just the gold section? Show me what you did.

I replaced the whole bowtie up front, but just the insert on the back. I liked how the front disappeared into the grille. But liked the chrome trim on the back. There are some pictures in my profile.

this is what mine looks like with a satin black vinyl I did... I also put tinted vinyl on the side marker lights and the tail lights and finished it off with satin black bezels around the tail lights

I thought I'd like it better completely blacked out so I tried it and felt it looked better leaving the chrome exposed so I changed mine.

CF vinyl wrap over the gold. Sorry no pics

Splitter · 04-10-2015, 08:30 AM

leave the chrome imo, just cover the gold part.

Looks good.

That LSA badge looks like you found it at the bottom of a cereal box though.

That from Emblempros?

Yes, Carbon fiber vinyl wrap.

I painted mine with taillight paint when I painted the tails and turn signals.

Going to be doing carbon fiber vinyl this weekend on the gold only.
