Question Best front bowtie?

Recently, I de-badged all symbols and letters off the car. It looks significantly better, but not entirely happy with the front grill bowtie delete. Could be because the seams are not flush with the rest of the grill and the gaps are too noticeable. The shape doesn't really match up all that well either. Other than that it is PERFECT!

Sooooo, was hoping to find the best quality bowtie for fitting into the stock grill symmetrically and evenly. Was thinkin' either black, polished aluminum, chrome or a combination of those together.

Please feel free to post pictures of any aftermarket bowtie that you feel fits best! I have spent many hours searching the internet trying to find something good. Thanks for any input you all have!!!

Damn, that looks REALLY nice! I don't have the heritage grill, though. How did the chrome bowtie attach?

I was going to order that today for my new car, but I wanted to know if anyone had tried it before

It works on the factory grill as well. It fits right into the factory location for the factory bowtie. Here it is: http://www.carid.com/2011-chevy-cama...m-9701959.html

Looks like it is an insert only for the factory bowtie. Was looking for something that sits flush with the grill. May have to fabricate something, it seems.
