Bowtie Modification for the Heritage Grille with SS emblem
 

Just went by the body shop where my car is having some work done and the owner made a step by step process for installing the bowties on the new Heritage Grille. However, I am having other mods done and unfortunately not the grille at the time. Anyways, he did use my bowtie to document this process.

Here is the process to mount the factory bowtie to the new heritage grille.

The center clips need to be removed. If you just wiggle them back and forth they come out easily. No need to save the pieces you remove.

Installing the clips on the backside of the heritage grille. Center the bowtie in the grille and push the metal clips onto the plastic clips on the bowtie.

Clip installed. The slight bowing of the grille bars does not show from the front when installed.

Nice just waiting on John from CCC to call me back.

Here is a prototype, they should have them available soon. SS and RS both.

awesome.

Very Nice indeed looking to get this grill

Yes, cool! Need to get those clips though. How was the "SS" attached?

Nice but I think the SS is upside down.

I would check out this website and give them a call.

I think they created a prototype platform today and hopefully have a production solution shortly...but give them a call and they will be glad to help.

when are you gonna install it? id like to see it on the car cause im undecided whether to go with just the ss or with both the bowtie and ss

SS is upside down

Yes, it is.

I don't know about the bowtie in the middle, it doesn't do it for me. The sides of the bowtie don't line up with the grille slots, it looks cobbed.

I am looking into a 68 or 69 original grille SS emblem for mine.

wouldnt match.
