Where do you get the black bowties?

Just wondering where you get replacement black bowties for the stock gold ones? I have read it before on a post, but have no idea which one.

Thx in advance, if you know in Canada specifically that would be great, if not I can always ship em up here.

There are vinyl overlays available, or some of us just paint them.

Yep. You can get the overlays on eBay if you want that route, or like said above, you can paint them. If you want to, you could always just buy the emblem (I think the dealer can sell you just that), or buy a used grille in case you don't want to paint yours in case you plan to change back someday.

or you get some spare vinyl yourself and lay it on by hand.

the one's from ebay and suck will not cover the entire thing, you will still have a gold edge, however, by hand you can do the entire thing.

I did the full vinyl overlay, used a hairdryer to shape the corners. It looked great when finished, but over the next couple days the vinyl shrank a bit and the inner corners pulled up a little. Still looks ok to most people though, unless you examine it closely.
