Bowtie color on IBM
I have been planning on changing the bowties from gold to another color. Been tossing around red, maybe flat black, or waiting for a IBM colored vinyl.
What do you guys think would look best?

Call me craxy but I think I'm keeping mine gold when I get it. My interior will have the gold door panels and trim anyway. And besides the blue and gold work together. But if your absolutely certain about changing the color, I saw a schrome bowtie that would work nicely. Or if you have the RS wheels you could paint it to match the midnight silver. The blue might get lost IMO, especially in the back.

I personally like the little touch of !zing! the gold bowtie gives to the front of my car. However, it does stand out. Red would be great if you then got the embroidered mats with red lettering to carry the color into the interior of the vehicle - not a lot of color but just enough to make your car beautifully different.

Why is everyone so down on the bowtie and wanting to replace it? I think it looks great, especially on the IBM. Now, I can understand blacking it out or going with silver on some other colors, but it looks absolutely great with the dark blue.

I personally don't like making everything on the car the same color, so I'll be decaling mine white to match the stripes. If I hadn't ordered stripes, then I'd leave it gold.

Unless you're getting stripes painted, I'd stick with gold. That's what my plan is for when I get the IBM.
Or, you could remove the bowtie altogether, I've considered that. Go open collar, so to speak.

GOLDDOG, I don't think the Gold Bowtie is bad with the IBM color. Blue and Gold is a sort of classic color combo. But if changing it, I'd think about a Red the matches the Red in the RS emblem next to it.

I've seen a few threads discussing removing the bowtie, check out the DIY forum for more. Check out this links for help:
http://www.mylrs.com/blogs/lrs/archi...mblem-kit.aspx I realize they replace that bowtie with a chrome one, but if you search hard enough you'll find a thread or two talking about removing the bowtie and not replacing it.

Thanks alot for your opinions guys. After reading them, I have come to realize that the gold is pretty darn nice looking with the blue.
