Bowtie Advice???

So, I'm getting an Ashen Gray Metallic 2LT RS next month and I know that I'm definitely putting some vinyl over those ugly gold bowties. Question is, would Flat (Matte) Black or Carbon Fiber look better on the Ashen Gray Metallic Camaro?

^ Gloss black...looks great on my black car. I wanted gun metal metallic but it's impossible to find to match my stripes.

Love the beautiful gold bowtie.
It represents over 100 years of heritage.
Why all the hate on it?

I bought the matte black replacements from GM performance.
Gold ones tore off and black clipped in.
No covering to mess with.
Dealer installed them in the time I did the paperwork.
I think they look great.
Blue Dusk Metallic

I love the gold bowties and I always thought Camaro's looked a little funky with them in a different color. I wouldn't say there is any hate on the stock bowties, but it looks like most people that mod their car just prefer different color bowties. Less money for me to spend anyways
