Most of us have carbon fiber stickers. You can get those from ebay. Otherwise, you can take the bowtie off and go to a sign design shop or similar and have them cut a peice of black vinyl to put over it.
FatRyan's blazer had smoked carbon fiber projector headlights, smoked aftermarket signals and taillights.

Yeah you can paint the bowtie black, or you could get a vinyl decal made (i believe they sell these on ebay occasionally). As for the headlights and tail lights, you can buy either the LUND/EGR head/taillight covers or you can get this product call night shades and you paint it on ina special process and it tints them. The night shades i think looks better, but the covers are removable and replaceable. Personal choice there. Oh the other difference would be the cost (maybe $10 for the night shades paint and supplies vs. probably $100 for the covers).

How much did that cost??

you can get a vinyl tint off ebay that works really well. Looks like paint but you can peel it off if you decide you don't like it.
