Question What color bowtie on ABM?

I've been thinking about this for months, and I just can't decide! I've seen pics of others (black on black, IOM on IOM), and I absolutely love it. I've been going back and forth between ABM and Black. My friend just had his done in CGM (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32729) and that looks pretty awesome... so I might have another option now... what do you guys think?

Of course, only the middle part would be painted, and the chrome border would stay. Here are my thoughts:

ABM - I like it because the old Chevy logo was blue. But is it too much blue?

Black - Just looks awesome! But would it look weird since nothing else is black?

CGM - Could be cool, because the grille is sort of a grayish color...

SIM - Would match the color of my stripes, but would it be too much silver in one spot?


Any suggestions/thoughts/comments? I want to have the body shop do this while they repair my car, so I'll have to tell them soon...


Also, if anyone feels like doing up some quick photoshops so I can get some visuals, that would be amazing

Thanks!

How about just whatever color your stripes are? White stripes and white bowtie would be cool

Feel free to use my photoshops to help you decide. For that matter, I can photoshop something else for you, if you'd like.

I think I'm going the all blue route in the long run. I'd also appreciate your opinion!

But I think the bowties should go and SS emblems replace them like GM should have done in the first place
