There's an original idea. When you do it, take some pics and post them here. I think it will look good.

Or buy a 91-92 Z28 grill with a red bow tie on it.

I don't think a 91-92 grill emblem looks like this, or has Willie just painted it?

Hey, you guys are talking about my car and I didn't even know it....

All I did was use a '91-'92 Z28 grill and with a little red and silver paint, drastically changed the look of the original red outlined bowtie. I like little discrete differences, but all within my conversative tastes. Here's one more pic that you guys haven't seen:
