I really appreciated your feedback on my RST.  I'm going to leave the grille and bumpers the same color (satin steel metallic).  But all the badging is going black and I'm putting the rally stripes on hood and tailgate. 

 

With that in mind I want to get rid of the chrome on the bow tie.

 

As a last resort I will plasti dip the bow tie on my 20, don't worry, I plan on using a trim removal tool....put painters tape on the grille under where im prying and pop it off.   Should come off without a hitch.

 

BUT.....

 

1.  Anyone know if Chevy makes an all black bow tie for the 2020 grille like this one???  (No chrome)

 

2.  Does a bow tie from a 2019 fit a 2020?  I know there were some front trim changes.  

 

Its either this or my last resort....plasti-dip.

That helps, I've seen 2019 bow ties in all black...just didn't know about fit!   I will probably order one of those rather than using pastidip.   Thanks!!!

I put the bowtie on just to see if I like it or not with the gloss black grill center. I'll get a pic tomorrow for you. I do think the ami piece is sleeker looking.  I'm not sure if this black bowtie

If it has those defects in in, just from shipping, I’d be concerned about a good sized bug or rock hitting it!  AMI powder coated should be able to take more impact.

No, GM does not make a totally black bow-tie. Just the center part is black with a chrome outline (as comes on the RST). 

 

You'll have to plastidip the emblem, or order an aftermarket one. 

 

A '20 would fit a '19, yes. There have not been changes in the bowtie emblems between those models.

OK, so I'm seeing conflicting info out there about bow ties fitting different years.   There are apparently two sizes....2016 to 2018 and 2016 to 2019.  It appears 2019 bow ties have two different sizes.

 

I measured mine and I get 12" accross by 4" exactly.

 

I found one on Ebay and they say the measurements are 11.22" x 3.84" high.

 

Another ebay seller advised theirs were 9.85" x 3.56"

 

I'm so confused now.

You need the 12x4. 
 

Here’s the specs from Chevy’s website: https://accessories.chevrolet.com/product/exterior/front-bowtie-emblem-in-black-84133640?year=2019&make=Chevrolet&model=Silverado 1500&modelId=491&body=Crew Cab Pickup&bodyId=22&wheel=Short Box&wheelId=651&trim=RST&trimId=4962&drive=4WD&driveId=8&engine=5.3L V8 GAS&engineId=2059&bodyNumDoors=5&categoryId=12002

 

A lot of parts sellers will include the 2019 LD (old body style) in their year ranges.

So are you saying the 11.22 x 3.84 is the one I need and it should work?   

 

Or specifically 12 x 4 is what I need?

Well I purchased the on from Ebay before reading this, so we'll see how it fits.  

 

I did get this from GM......they say its 4.5" high and 12.25" wide, which isn't what I get when I measure.  

 

So everyone's measurements are slightly close.......I guess I will see if it fits when I get it and ill report back!!!

Thought I'd share this here too in case anyone does a search.. ..

 

2018 and down bow ties do not fit the 2019 and 2020 Silverado's.

 

Its slightly smaller....and the tabs do not line up from end to end and one of the tabs is too wide to fit a placement hole.  It could be shaved down, but again, from end to end the tabs (clips) do not match.  The bow tie itself is about 1/4" shorter from side to side and top to bottom.  And the two outside tabs are about 1/2" longer than the receiving holes on the grille.

 

Also...the chrome bow tie from the 2019 and 2020 is exactly 4" high and 12" wide ....right on the dot.   BUT, I can report how easy this one comes off with trim tools.  Just work from one end carefully....I had it off in 20 seconds.  

 

So until Chevey comes out with an all black one, or an aftermarket one comes out, we are stuck to plasti-dip.

Curious as to why everyone uses plastidip? Doesn’t tht peel? If I do this I will use a matte or gloss paint! Seems like it would hold up better over time to me. I could be wrong here, just what I have heard. Removing the inserts painting the chrome area with a few good coats then reinstalling the inserts with a good adhesive. Seen a vid on YouTube done this way, seems rite.

It’s the cheap/lazy/easy way to black out emblems. 
 

It’s forgiving when you have overspray. 
 

Painting will always look better, but unfortunately plastidip will hold up better in the front end due to its softness.

Plasti-dip will require more coats than paint.  It will bond to the chrome better.

 

I would love to tape off the black center or remove it and use gloss spray paint.  That would be a great look for sure.  But how do you get the paint to bond to the chrome?  I think it would peel off over time.   The bow ties are cheap enough that I guess I could try it out.   

 

Anyone know what spray paint will bond to plastic chrome?

Now there are three sellers on Ebay offering blacked out bow ties for 2019 to 2021 silverados.

 

I'm wondering if someone got smart and just painted a bunch of chrome bow ties or there is actually an aftermarket part now????

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
