P.S. - You did a beautiful job on yours, Pumpkin!!!

Let us know .. I got their black ones and they were not cut right and didn't fit (at least on the back bowtie).

I had the same problem with them except my front one didnt fit. Bryan even sent me a second set that just plain doesn't fit either. I appreciated his customer service though (sent me the second set for free after the problems with the first one), but the product just didn't work for me (not glossy enough either IMO).

I don't know the products cause i have not used them at all but everytime i see the ridergraphix name posted here it is someone saying that the stuff did not fit right. I know that people are much more likely to post when unhappy than when they get what they want. So has anyone used the ridergraphix stuff and been happy with the outcome?

The GM original bowtie is two pieces. The chrome outer stays, and you completely replace the interior part of the bowtie (the gold piece).

It's made out of the finest 6061 aircraft grade aluminum billet. It's not plastic, an overlay, and is in fact aluminum. Can be seen and purchased also at http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Addicted-Auto-Accessories . It's a sharp looking piece. Let us know your feedback.

I agree. I don't like the,"bow tie only" black out. I want it ALL black!

You can order vinyl bowtie blackouts through rider. I ordered some, I get my car tomorow so I can put them on and post pics.

I like... but any chance of a gloss black one?

We have thousands of happy customers and many that are repeat customers as well. You are correct in saying that only the people that have a complaint seem to be the ones that post. I have found 99% of the time, it is not a bad or improper cut product, but a poor installation that causes their problems.

Quick question about your bowtie covers: any way to order one with a colored stripe around the edge? Like black with red ala post #4 in this thread?

It must be this forum man cuz I was giving you you guys the benefit of the doubt and ordered. Got them Friday and was trying to see how they matched up... all these bad reviews can't be all lies man. My front bow tie was an improper cut, I was shocked. So I called my buddy over, just in case I was an idiot. He said the same thing. My neighbor saw us playing around with the front of my Camaro and we asked for his opinion and let him try to line it up. He also nodded in agreement, not cut right.

You also mailed them in a regular envelope, no cardboard protection, so the rear bowtie had a slight crease on it from the mail carrier. You guys just mail them out just like that? So do I have a mail man that doesn't know how to protect envelopes from being bent up? Come on.

Needless to say, the mosquitos got me good for all the time I spent outside trying to make them fit on the front, I didn't even bother to go try the back.

I just ate the money and will try the paint route until some one makes black inserts that are actually inserts.

Seriously though, you can't blame every single complaint on poor installation.
