[QUOTE=DonM;9772896]I'm debating about putting a 3" blue line between the tails where the bowtie was,, kind of like those black decals that people put on the back of the car to symbolize the 'Thin Blue Line.'

I like the thin blue line idea. I have the decal on my car but I don't think I would go as far to paint the stripe but I would encourage you to do so.

My 2011 didn't have posts, it was simply stuck on with tape stuff.

yes, this works much better and almost 0 chance of f-ing up the paint

I have a 2011 2SS and it did NOT have the two posts. So maybe the 2010's did, but from what I know 2011+ did not. I removed mine with fishing wire and installed a new style SS logo on the back and front. Had the bowties painted for the first 5 years of the cars life, black. Like the SS logo way better.

I replaced the bowtie with this.

Looks great. I know there's widely varying opinions on the bowtie. I personally like the look without but had to break up the red on mine.
