How Do you Like Your Chevy Bowtie Emblem?

So I'm always wrestling with the idea of getting a vinyl insert for my bowtie emblem on my Camaro, leaving it the gold OEM color, or removing in entirely. I like having the emblem I think, but can't make up my mind about what to do with it! What about you?

Replaced the grill with the heritage grill without bowtie, looks 10 times better. Now the tens had holds in the trunk lid just need to figure out what to do.

Heritage grill and blacked out the back logo with chrome surrounds. I used vinyl.
I don't really like the gold colored logos

Hate the bowties - to big. First "mod" I did to my Camaro was to remove front and back bowties.

When I bought my 2012 SS/RS used in 2013, my Bowties (front and back) both had reddish-orange decals covering the gold (think this is what IOM RS cars come with, as my SS emblems front and rear are red instead of white... or, hey, maybe PO did it, IDK for sure).
When I installed my heritage grille last week, I did the front bowtie delete; will do rear bowtie delete soon. Not that I disliked the bowties, the car just looks cleaner without them.
