Picture of prototype 71'/72' front bowtie inserts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Reumster · 02-11-2003, 09:02 PM

Here's a quick picture of some 71 72 front parking inserts I whipped up. This is just to get your opinions.

What do you think? Or should the production ones be solid LEDs?

67cst · 02-11-2003, 09:11 PM

those are awesome.....

blazerboy72 · 02-11-2003, 09:13 PM

i want it

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 02-11-2003, 09:24 PM

Can I get them for my 70 turn signails

sigurd · 02-11-2003, 09:29 PM

Just tell me when and where to send you some money...

I cant wait to install them.

James

>X< · 02-11-2003, 09:30 PM

those are cool, BUT i think you should add another row to makethe top of the bowtie thicker from left to right, adding 6 led's. it would make the chevy symbol look better, not as thin. thoe are sweet though

SWINGSAX68 · 02-11-2003, 09:31 PM

You had better make those for 67-68's...
I would deffinately buy those!!!!!!
Please say that those are at least an idea for 67-68's!!!!!!!!
Sweeeeeet!!!!

RUDEDAWG · 02-11-2003, 09:49 PM

Dude, ive just got to have those! Just send me a pm. and let me know how much $ to send you.I would leave them just as they are. SWEEEEET!

RUDY.

71Seth · 02-11-2003, 09:52 PM

got a pic from futher back. I would like to see what they look like on the trcuk. I agree with seanh71 on the thickness. Very cool

**1971Stepside** · 02-11-2003, 09:58 PM

I agree with Seanh71...they look cool...

Chevy Punk · 02-11-2003, 10:03 PM

I think they should have a different lens so that you can see the bowtie better. Maybe a clear lens?

Project1970 · 02-11-2003, 10:05 PM

Us GMC boys will want some solid ones, of course.

lunatic · 02-11-2003, 10:10 PM

Those are cool do you have them for a 69-70?

Reumster · 02-11-2003, 10:46 PM

Wow guys thanks for the comps! These are still in test mode. I just want to get a idea of what you'd prefer, solid LEDs or the bowtie shape. I'm just throwing around ideas. I wish I had a set of clear lenses to see what they looked like. Probably alot better.

The thickness of the bowtie is limited to the lense bolt holes.

weasel29gm · 02-11-2003, 11:38 PM

How about 69 -70's?

oldchvytrcks · 02-11-2003, 11:44 PM

it look cool man good work on it

*Gee_Emm* · 02-12-2003, 12:00 AM

Cool

"those are cool, BUT i think you should add another row to makethe top of the bowtie thicker from left to right, adding 6 led's. it would make the chevy symbol look better, not as thin. thoe are sweet though"

I was thinking the same thing.

SWINGSAX68 · 02-12-2003, 02:15 AM

Make 'em look good and make 'em for a '68, and I'll be happy....also hows about for like a '63???
Stick with the bowtie and make some with solid leds for the conventional type....but they look great...
'68 please????

neonlarry · 02-12-2003, 02:23 AM

how do they fit into the lights? Would they work with van sidemarker lights? If you need a van light, I would send you one for $5

SWINGSAX68 · 02-12-2003, 02:26 AM

"those are cool, BUT i think you should add another row to makethe top of the bowtie thicker from left to right, adding 6 led's. it would make the chevy symbol look better, not as thin. thoe are sweet though"

Is this what you are looking for??? I just doctored it up on photo shop.

72 Chevy Frank · 02-12-2003, 02:47 AM

Those are really cool. The latest photo is sweet. Can't wait till you start producing them. Please let us all know when they are available. Do you have any creations for taillights?

Hotrod70C10 · 02-12-2003, 02:54 AM

Those are sweet!! You need to make a set for 69-70 also. I'm still going to order the taillights. I just have this motor project at the moment if you know what I mean?

O'l Buck · 02-12-2003, 03:39 AM

Awsome.....bowtie all the way. I want 2 pairs!!!!!

*Gee_Emm* · 02-12-2003, 10:11 AM

SWINGSAX68 · 02-12-2003, 01:49 PM

Reumster has the real merchandise.....I just snagged his pic and photo-chopped it.....if you are curious as to other mods to the bowtie...I can see what I can photo-chop.
