Which bowtie looks better??

Well i can't make up my mind over which bowtie to use, and that would flow the best with the evo mod.. heres the options:

Carbon fiber vinyl wrapped


Or Laser blue metallic

Does the blue one have a chrome edge or a black edge? Cause if it is a black edge go with the blue.

I like the blue, but would be more of a fan of the CF if you flip it over so the weeve is going the same direction.

Yeah the blue one has a black edge on it, i honestly think it makes the evo mod stand out more with the blue one

You actually got the autozone stuff to work?! I've got a roll that I bough to try out on my dash pieces and it didn't work worth a damn for me and now it just sits in my closet. Haha

Yeah I considered it.. I was using that cf bowtie when I didn't have the crossbar painted, the chrome really set off the two colors!

i like the cf one. the only downfall is the chrome outline. if it were black it would look a lot better. all that really matters is what you think tho.
