i just got my z back out the shop from when i got into an accident a couple months ago and i see that the bowtie emblem isnt on the front anymore. i alsp observed that they didnt paint the eyes and grill back black, so i told the guy that i wanted it redone and he said ok. my question is is that red bowtie a stick on emblem or someting or is it apart of the mold in the grill, cause i dont have one anymore. if it is a stick on emblem then is it available in black cause i would like them to leave the grill red and just paint the eyes back black along with a black bowtie. sorry about the lengthy post, im just curious?

 

It is a stick on emblem. Not too expensive. I have the part number but not handy. Let me know if you need it and I'll find it.

You can only get one kind from GM... the stocker. You can get a carbon fiber one from RK Sport which is about as close to "black" as you'll get IMO. It is $17.95. www.rksport.com

 

Are you sure it is stick on??? I thought stock, it was molded in. I'm probably wrong though, can't check right now, my cars in storage. If it is stick on, I'm gonna take mine off, cars green and sticker is red, bugs me!
Wait, maybe the bowtie is molded in, with a bowtie sticker stuck on top, know what I mean. So, if you remove the sticker, you would still see a black bowtie if you looked close enough. Just brainstorming, I'll have to look for myself when car comes out.
Take care all,

The front grill bowtie is not a stick on.

I've taken mine off a couple of times to paint it.

It's definitely not molded into the grill.

Yeah its a stick on, Brent did you possibly have the part number? I need a red one.

 

GM only has the stock one. RK Sport has them in either red or black carbon fiber.

You still need the part number even though it is only like your stocker?

 

Ummm...err...I think you just contradicted yourself there E. For those who still think otherwise, I will clarify that he meant to say "The front grill bowtie is a stick on." Like it has been said, it isn't molded in. If you wanna take it off, just take your fingers and pry it off, or if that's too tough, just use a pry of some sort. Just don't scratch your paint behind there.

 

I am repainting my bumper cover and would like the part # for the stock red bowtie. Thanks Frank95z

 

Doing this also looks pretty good.

Nice car

BTW If you get a new bumper on you car they don't come with bowties, mine didn't either and it was redone at the dealership...

 

Maybe Im wrong but I thought the stock one was red Brent?

 

I suppose it depends on your definition of "red" Mine is red, white, blue, black, and silver around the edges

When it is said a "red" emblem I think more of it as a primarily red one. Like this "red" carbon fiber one from RK Sport...

Thanks a lot. I appriciate the nice words. Here is another angle of the bumper. Yeah, I know it needs to be lowerd.

 

mine is molded, it is flat, not the v-shape of the front nose. i have had no work done to the car, and it is a sticker on top of that

 

What I have seen (if we're all talking about the same thing) is that there is a molded spot for that front emblem into the bumper. The emblem itself is a stick on type emblem. What I have done to mine is fill in that molded area so that it's flush like "Black-Z28's". I like that look better for me, and it looks REALLY sweet on Black's. So if we're all talking about the front camaro emblem...yes it's molded...and yes it's a stick on.
