Pop it out of the grille and spray bomb it You may need to remove the grille to get the bowtie out, but it would be worth it as you won't need to tape anything off.

Billetsuperstore sells them I think. Saw their ad last night in my Truckin Magazine and they had some painted with designs. Don't know if they do solid colors or not though.

Worth the price? IMO I think $40 is a ripoff. I would gladly do anyones bowtie for $40. If anyones interested contact me.

Watch out for rocks, one hit mine after I painted it black. The paint stuck to the bowtie very well, but when a rock hits it hard enough to crack the actual bowtie, you might have problems with the paint sticking. Now I have to take it off and repaint it.
