Ladies and Gentlemen, I have one final (I think, anyway, that this will be the last one) submission. We'll call this one Option 6. I know a few people have posted about doing a black-out bowtie. I, at first, thought that a black bowtie on a black panel would probably not look too good, until I did a google search and found out that there are a lot of kits that only replace the gold with black, and keep the chrome border. So, of course I had to do that up in MS Paint as well, to see how it might look. I'm kind of thinking I may have found a winner. I'm really digging how this looks. It keeps the bowtie, and has that emblem in the center so it doesn't look too plain, but with a blackout center portion of the emblem, it still ties it all together and keeps that panel mostly black. I think it looks good.
If I go this route, I'll probably pick up some of these:

Anyway, here's option 6:
I think, at this point, we can go ahead and discount Options 1 and 2. I wasn't a big fan, and they didn't seem to be too popular anyway. I've been really torn between 3 and 4, but I think I'm starting to feel like it really does need the bowtie back there to keep from being too plain. So I'm kind of ruling out #3.
Now, it's between #4 (gold bowtie center) #5 (IOM bowtie center) or #6 (black bowtie center). I'm really leaning towards #6, maybe #4, but I don't know that I really like #5 (just too much IOM).
So, #4, #5, or #6? Which one looks the best?
