I put this on just after getting the car, then I had red inserts cut to replace the white. I'm now debating if I want to swap this for the new font to match the back emblem.

Nice jsweat! I was looking at black, but I think the red looks a lot better with our color scheme.

Agreed. I think it adds just a bit of pop to the grill and accents the red stripe. The red is a bit off in terms of matching the stripe color perfectly, but I'm not crazy about the red in the stripe anyhow. If it keeps bothering me, I'll get it painted to match.

Bodih, where did you get that emblem? it looks pretty cool
Bodih and jsweat, was it hard to remove the bowtie and SS from the grille, and how hard was the install of the new badge? Anybody put a bigger SS badge on the back to replace that bowtie? I think that might look pretty cool |

shennessy, I did the back too. No pictures to show yet. I'll post when I have a few. The Front Bowtie came off by just pulling and twisting evenly (pull hard) but I cut my hands up pretty bad on corner of bowtie (wear gloves). Small SS badge pops off by using a flathead screwdriver to pry from the left side. Search the forums, plenty of posts and how I found out how to do it. Also, when pulling the bowtie, when it feels like it wont come, keep twisting and pulling, it will work.twist counter-clockwise while pulling and it will give.
