Bowtie Question

Okay well I have been wanting to black out my bowties and I was wondering what is the best method.

Vinyl
Having them painted
Or buying a pair from Gary

I spray-painted mine. Looks perfect, but it is more of a permanent route. Vinyl can always be taken off.

i did vinyl for mine (white front orange rear)... ppl come up to me and ask what shop did them for me lol and then get very surprised when I tell them I did it.

I have to tell their very confused faces that it is a very simple mod with sticky colored tape (vinyl) and a razor

go vinyl.. you can change your color, it's very easy, more affordable, and takes less time.

I already changed my rear color: used to be white like the front, but now it's orange.
