The new one just pull the backing and stick it on.

Sounds easy enough! Looking at the Street Scene website I see where these Bowties are also offered in chrome. Do you think the polished best matches the SS wheels or would the chrome match even better?

The polished would look the same. The SS wheels are polished forged aluminum.

Chrome would be a little much to match the SS wheels.

X2 + polished bow-ties can always be polished back up like new...

Chrome starts pitting & party over. Especially in the front that takes a beating..

I think they are all clear anodized so not real polishing is needed. The chrome would just have more shine vs the aluminum. They would look similar but the aluminum would match the wheels better.

hyperv6-

That would be an improvement. Reason is, I bought a satin bow-tie for my former S-10 many yrs ago & it was just bare billet..

Front and rear polished bowties to match the SS wheels if they are different numbers!

Maybe both if you don't mind. I didn't know there were two styles available. This way, can look at both styles and compare. Thanks!
