This is just a piece of black graphic vinyl applied over the existing gold bowtie. I used the wet application method but, understand that the dry method conforms better to uneven surfaces.

Black Bowtie
I can't claim credit for this idea, it came from HenryJ. HJ knows that I have been trying to "tone" down my yellow school bus.

I think it looks pretty good 
I tried to do that by disassembling the factory bowtie. I wasn't pleased with the results.
That looks good with the theme that you have going

Carbon Fiber vinyl bowtie bought from Rogerbaby at ZR2.com This is one of the highest quality vinyl graphics I have ever seen. I definitely recommend his works.

That is good looking. Pete. I emailed Roger asking for a price but, would rather have a solid black one. Nothing against the "carbon fiber" craze, just don't want to branch out from the black. I may if I am not able to do the bowtie to suit me.

Thanks. Your black bowtie looks good too. Just curious, why are you trying to get a decal from Roger? Did yours not work out. It looks good in the pics. Anyhow Roger should be able to hook you up with any kind of decal you need.
I used to hate the grill on my s-10. Since day one, I have been on the lookout for a painted grill from an extreme. But since I put the decal over the bowtie, I think it looks much better. I think the solid black and the carbon fiber makes a great contrast to the plasticrome strip of the grill. Much better than the gold bowtie.
Your best friend (on Pamela Sue) and I live within walking distance. Small world.
Take care,
Pete

It is a small world. I realized that awhile back.
When I first emailed Roger I was incorrectly under the assumption the pic you presented was of an emblem and not graphics.
I do like the bowtie on my grille now but, through "pilot error" there is a little gold showing and and a wrinkle or 2. The other stuff that is on my truck, graphic wise, I did myself. On the driver's side, the bowtie is a little crooked and it drives me nuts.
I researched decal application for weeks before I got tired of a source stalling on applying mine and I just did it myself. It was my first and like all firsts, you are glad you did it and suddenly it is not so terrifying.
I just want to have a "back-up" plan if my "dry" application attempt goes awry for the black bowtie..
