Where do I get vinyl to make my chevy bow ties black?

you can either buy them from online vendors that are doing modifications..or people have been going to Autozone I believe and just buying a sheet of vinyl and cutting it to fit and it looks great

You can also get it at a local sign shop. I called one called Fast Signs and explained what I wanted. I then went in, and the owner actually came out to look at my car so I could show him what I was doing. He charged me $2.00 for the vinyl. It's basically just a vinyl sticker that comes in a roll and they cut some off for you. It comes in different thicknesses and you want to get one that is made for being outside as well (weather proof).

I got the matte black and it turned out very nice. The benefit of getting it local at an automotive or sign shop is that you can get it that day and you can be sure of what you are getting. I ordered some online and the color didn't look good in person or on the car. Good luck!

I'd say do it yourself. Get the vinyl as the people above have mentioned, cut it out and do it yourself. Its incredibly cheap this way. If you look here :http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38724 post #17 shows my carbon fiber vinyl cutouts. It cost me $20 including the knife plus I have enough left over to redo it a few times if they get scratched or damaged. I ordered some from a vendor who will remain nameless (I've seen from other threads how he reacts when people call out his "perfect" products), precut for like $25. That was for only 2 precut emblems, one front one back. Not to mention they didn't fit anywhere near as good as my home-made Autozone ones did. So they went in the trash.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help, I'm no expert but I got pretty good results on mine.
