Need opinions on a `Before` & `After` cosmetic modification

[Don]

I did this a few years ago with RUSTOLEUM "Peel Coat" and it lasted quite a while before the "paint" started wearing off and peeling. This time I used FLEX Tape (yes, the stuff you see on TV). I had bought a small roll to fix a leak in my shower, and when I was looking up vinyl sheets to redo the bowtie, it occurred to me that I still had the Flex Tape.

This stuff has some incredibly NASTY adhesive on it, so I`m NOT worried about it coming off. In fact, I would trim the vinyl with a new razor blade, then have to go back and trim the ADHESIVE layer - it`s THAT thick and tough.

But back to the point, which one do you guys like better - the Gold bowtie, or the Black?

Let me know.

Definitely the gold.

I agree with the gold on your clean Black Camaro. Being an older guy, I personally prefer the legacy Blue Bowtie. However, I work for a Chevy dealer and we have quite a few customers who want the Black Bowties. GM offers many as an accessory for current models, but we`ve had our graphics vendor cover many stock gold ones with the same black vinyl they use as wrap material and it`s held up well.

Being the outline is still silver, I like the black myself.

The black is stealthy, the gold is showier. Both look good.

Neither, debadge.

If I COULD ... I would buy a heritage grill (which doesn`t have an emblem). BUT, FINDING ONE these days is pretty difficult. And I`m really not too hip on removing my ENTIRE front end replacing the grill and having to put it all back together again. And I don`t WANT to know how much a shop would charge to do it. The stock grill is formed AROUND the bowtie, and they DO sell an insert if you want to remove it, but the same "remove EVERYTHING" still comes into play.

Looks cool and clean
