blacked out badges
 
I want to replace the badges with all black badges.. Can anyone point me in a direction to find proper size badges for all locations? I think the hood is bigger than trunk.

Bow ties or all of them? The bowtie in the front I painted myself etching printer then satin black. The rear bowtie I found online on amazon.

You can go cheap on eBay but most are pretty crap. I did this route and they came on white sticky backing which stood out like a sore thumb. I then went to emblem pros and got way better ones that are awesome. They are expensive but they are super nice.

Self adhesive vinyl works well and is very inexpensive.

Had them painted, front and rear bowtie are the same. SS and Camaro badges are matte black.

Plastidip is great for this kind of stuff as well. I have the best results when I let the can sit in the sun or dip it in a bucket of warm water before and in between coats.

My front is an ebay replacement, and the rear is Plastidipped. I honestly think the rear looks better than the front! LOL

I have not messed with those. I blacked out the bowties and removed the camaro from the fender sides.

Plasti dipped the fender emblems.

Vinyl covered the bow tie.

I bought a sheet a real CF and cut out inlays for all of the ZL1 emblems. I used wrap on the bowties.

I have a question. I want to make my front bowtie a flowtie so can you buy the bowtie emblem without buying the grill? Does the bowtie bolt on or not? I do not have a tool to cut it out if that is what has to be done but I could buy one if I need to.Thanks
