Best place to buy front chevy bowtie?
Looking for the blue one in this picture. I want one just like it yet without defects. Not sure where the best place to buy them is? Thanks!

The one I bought is a GM licensed restoration part made by Trim Parts and sold by a local Wisconsin seller. Fits and looks great perhaps better than the original. Here's a Trim Parts link. Looks like free shipping from them also.

Re: Best place to buy front chevy bowtie?
Its been my experience that the blue on the repop bowties tends to fade really quick. I mean all the way gone in a few years. Your best bet is a nice original. Just my $0.02.

It'll be really tough to find a good original. I collected a few many years ago and they didn't look good even then. I haven't mounted the one I mentioned above, so I can't speak to the fading concern.

They are two on the market I have seen the Trim Parts one hold up longer that the other brand. Cost more though.
