I think he means cause of the color combo, red/burgundy. You could always paint it a diff color I painted my "CAMARO" red.

How about have the grille painted body color?
Then leave the bow tie either red or the color of you lower stripes.

It would only look bad if the red was used in large quantities like red stripes or something like that. A red bowtie is just fine. The red in the tailights doesn't match the burgendy either, but it still looks fine.
