Bow Tie Question

While I like the Chevy bow tie, I know some here really hate them and make a point to remove them. I was looking at my key fob today and noticed the nice little bow tie there. I wondered has anyone been obsessive enough to remove or customize the bow tie on the key fob.

Removing or customizing the bow ties on the grille and trunk lid is easy and common enough, but how far have people taken it? Steering wheel? Center caps? Key fob?

I'm eventually going to replace the "Camaro" script on my steering wheel to match the classic cursive "Camaro" emblems I have on the fenders. I just need to overcome the fact that it will be a $500+ mistake if I screw up.

I bought color matching vinyl bowties from a guy off eBay to put on my center caps. I personally think they are very subtle and look awesome! I appreciate your post b/c it just reminded me that I've been meaning to put an extra one I have on my steering wheel bowtie. I too have looked at my key fob and wondered if anyone has modified it!?! If I get bored enough one day I might just do it. LOL!

I bought them off eBay. Here you go...

FYI I put 1 of my extras on the steering wheel today. It's not quite big enough to cover all of the gold but I centered it just right that it still looks pretty cool with a little gold outline around the red. I'll take a pic and post it later tonight.

The cap decals are a little bit smaller than the steering wheel bowties but still doesn't look bad if you center it pretty good. Make a decent gold accent around it. Perhaps one day ill get a big enough decal but this will do for now.

I have done my keys, my wheel caps, and my steering wheel.
I have removed the front bowtie and replaced it with drake auto delete.
I have removed my rear bowtie.
I have removed the door sils.
If I missed one let me know so I can go out to my garage and rip it off my car.
