Well dang guys I need a solution. I have my satin grille ready to send to the painters but I was waiting to get a bowtie in case I had to drill holes.

What if I painted the grille black and the rear hatch piece black, then just had the factory bowties painted bright azz silver?

Im really dissapointed.

 

I can make you one.. I'm a machinest ..I'm makeing some custom part right now for our HHRs..Here is what i'm working on now..






I'm not done with the polish yet..
sorry about the picture..it looks better in person..

 

l found this thread but it is a couple years old and no luck .anyone know who sells chrome bow ties?
thanks Phil

 

An S-10 bowtie will work for the rear. It has to be bent a little so it's flat. Got the idea from rudeinc. There are pics in my gallery. Not 100% sure about the front.

 

Where can you purchase one of these S-10 bowties? Is it easy to bend to fit?

 

They're all over ebay. I wrapped mine in a towel, then put it in a vise. It didn't bend completely flat, but it's sticking on good with 3M exterior mounting tape.

 

i just went to an aftermarket accessory store and purchased one for a full size chevy truck and modified it to fit. I opened the jaws of my work bench vise and then with a punch and hammer i hit the emblem in the middle to give it more of an angle. Make sure you put some rags down on the vise so not to scratch the billet. Then I just bolted it from behind. You might have to get some longer studs for your local hardware store.

 

Unless you want a bigger emblem, a S-10 bowtie (98-04) will work without modification on billet grilles.

 

If somebody want one I have one. Ten bucks plus ship to you. It is out of the package but decided not to use.
