Front Emblem Question
Am I crazy. . . I thought the Gold Bowtie was the Chevy truck emblem? If so why is it on the Camaro?

The Gold bowite is the global bowtie, it's on all Chevrolets now.
I think if you add a red-white-and-blue banner to it, you can make a pretty good looking Camaro emblem:

that looks horrible.
Way too much contrasting color. There's a reason the emblems have always been small.

I'm thinking the aftermarket won't waste too much time coming out with different colored bowties (and designs) for the front grill emblem.
Personally, I'd LOVE to see a blue one to add to the 1st Gen look  .

Yeah, I always liked that one too, it's what's on my truck. Looks to be the part # right on the box, kinda hard to make out though!

Personally I think on the cars (and trucks actually) they should color match to the vehicle. Someone living around the corner from me has a white '07 Avalanche. The bowtie on the front grille and rear are white w/silver outline. VERY nice looking being color matched to the vehicle.

keep in mind the car could change substantially from the concept. the concept 05 mustangs looked a fair bit different than the production car
