Definitely bad ass!

Color matching is fine - but theres' no way I'd wait that long for paint when any auto paint shop can mix it on the spot. I'd rather spray the good stuff on myself than use a rattle can. But hey - it's your 3 weeks, not mine.

I painted mine for the time being. I dislike the Bowtie cap. I have found decals to cover them online in all sorts of sizes and colors. I have yet to find a plain pop-in replacement cap though.

Funny, I was just going to chime in with the fact I'm happy with my gold bow ties AND I like the stock 17" chrome rims. I guess I'm weird!

I do like some of the other treatments I see though. It is nice coming here and checking out all the mods . That way you can see the result at some one else's expense prior to committing.
I've seen some nice stuff here and have committed though!

I'll be happy when all exterior Bowties are gone. I want people to look at it and truly wonder what it is.
I do like KNEZRYD painted liftgate Bowtie looks though.

It does look nice, but did he keep off the rear wiper permanantly?

Yeah; we call Kenny's the "Unicorn Death-Threat" machine now.

It's a new "Dont' touch me or I'll poke you!" type of alarm system...
