bowtie on grill

[red knight]

just wondering if the bowtie on chevy grills comes off, thinking of painting mine or getting a chrome one if possible.

[CKTA]

Yup, 2 speed nuts on the back.

[red knight]

how do you get to that, popped my hood and all i saw was plastic cover from the fan.

[Toolman]

You have to pull the grill shell to get to the screws.
Let us know if you need directions.

yea not that hard to do, pretty easy actually

You need something like this:

pull the shell. i think the shell has somewhere around 7 or 8 screws. one behind each blinker, two on the very top when you ppen your hood on each side, and one in the middle. i cant remember if there are others or not.

then just undo your bowtie, prep and paint:D

1. Remove both lower parking lights
2. Remove the four screw across the upper grill and the one in the center of the grill
3. Reach in where the parking lights go and gently pull up on the tabs on each side.
4. Lean the grill forward a bit and reach down inside and release the center tab...pull grill away from the vehicle.

what would look better, painted or chrome, if painted what color? red?

[IH8FORD]

i would say chrome.

[97Silverado]

Actually, I don't think I have ever seen a chrome one...all the ones I have seen including the ones on my two rides above are billet aluminum.

I'm running a factory bowtie from a tahoe sport. Black with a red outline.

A red one would look nice

Billet is the only way to go!

on mine I only had to take one plastic piece off to get to the two nuts but I am kickin it New Body Style.

I painted mine black. I will probably get a chrome later on if I black out the front.

[kdizzle420]

what kinds of paint, etc. would one use to paint their bow tie?

i have a blood red 92 k1500 and im not sure what color would look best with my new billet grille insert coming soon. Suggestions?
