As I was heading down to the store to grab some supplies to paint my bowtie, I figured I would try Vinyl before I painted them. Grabbed some vinyl from the mall and went to work. It was a P/A, but it turned out. What do you think? I'm going to finish the rear bowtie up tomorrow and Sorry for the low quality pictures, I will get more tomorrow as well.


Well here it is :cool:

Truck looks good. I had my local signs now do my bowtie they had some black vinyl that had air channels in it that made it much easier to install.
