I think gary customz charges 50 for any color scheme bowties you want. I think mine made a huge diff in the look of the rear

Are you talking vinyl ? $50? Holy shit that's a lot for two small pieces of vinyl.

I blacked out my bow ties by going to the local vinyl shop they gave me two pieces - easy to do and cool thing is the bowtie and the chrome are far enough apart to guide the razor blade with ease.

$50....fill up the gas tank. Then save for some better upgrades. Anything cheap will be crap and you'll just end up replacing the cheap crap with better (more expensive ) upgrades.

$6 for a can of plasti-dip and black out those side markers. I did mine and the light still comes through at night. Also use the same can of plasti-dip and black out your bowties. Mine are dipped and have lasted for months and months of daily driving.

Take the other $44 and save up for some RGB halos.

DIY window tint off ebay can be had for just under $50 shipped... I've done about 5 cars with it now (mine, and my father's vehicles), and the stuff is top notch (I've used the same seller every time I buy it)... Over a year and a half with the tint on the Camaro and absolutely no problems, fading, or discoloration.

Or a skip shift eliminator.
