Black bowtie?
 
I just ordered a black hunter brush guard and im excited to see how it looks. I was thinking if i should also paint the bowtie black to match. Ive looked around for a champagne colored blazer with a black bowtie and i cant find one. Think black would look good? Open to any other color suggestions too.

A Black bowtie looks good on any color Blazer. Don't worry. :icon_wink:

paint it black ftw

I color matched mine (dark cherry) but considering your's is champagne it wouldnt look much different than stock lol. so def go with black. it will really set off the brush guard!

I plan to pick up that Krylon for plastics. I think people use like a gloss black to do theirs correct me if im wrong. If i painted it when should it be alright to put back on the truck? Like a couple hours?

I got a black bowtie yet to be installed (the mounting holes aren't the same), but no refund... debating to drill new holes or look for sure duper extra sticky glue/tape

Ok i was just making sure it wouldnt look outa place. Thanks for the pic. Did you do those corners yourself?

okvortec 04-09-2010 01:50 PM

You may want to go the route of clear corners as well:

Lights ran me around 30bucks USD on ebay... cheapest mod with the biggest impact on the look of a vehicle IMO.

Got my guard today and decided to sand and paint the tow hooks along with the bowtie. Still waiting for the tow hooks to dry but here is the result

Id love to do clear corners too but did you have to get an amber bulb or something for them to still light up orange?

you could also tint you orange corners to match your bow-tie and brush guard

Jisher 04-09-2010 07:53 PM

not too crazy about the black corners. Too much black for me. Ive always liked the clear corners though.

okvortec 04-09-2010 11:11 PM

What kind/how much was the brushguard? I'm thinking about getting one! Looks good!

I need to get Orange 3157 bulbs for the corners... ran me all of 5 bucks at the auto parts store... they're the GE "long lifes" too.

I just realized you have the factory fogs... that makes finding clear corners a little more difficult.

On LMC... the P/N for the parklights with the fog light are 150 bucks 29-8506

on ebay... I found these... the fact I found a kit with fog lights so quickly actually surprises me, they're super rare and not a bad price.

Its a hunterbrush guard. Do a search for Brush guard discount on the forums and they give you a link. If you buy it on ebay and mention blazerforum they end up giving you a 5% discount. Ended up bring about 230ish shipped. Im happy with it. Doesnt wiggle at all but i dont think the bolt were stainless steel like they said they were.
