Y'know, I was tempted to paint my body molding where the chrome was red, but I thought all black,
but then I thought the de-badging looks a ton better. I would've just painted the chrome part black since my moldings were a-ok still, but were getting a rusty look to them sort of. Just removed them totally and my truck looks a lot better, but since with yours, if they did masked off and painted around the molding, probably isn't a good idea to remove them totally for good. If you want to check my albums. If you want more of the SS look, I painted my door emblems and love them! I had them clear coated as well, so worth it. Took me quite a few hours to mask off all three of them and just to get them about perfect. If you want more pictures I can provide some. Doesn't look good with the chrome strip though, the whole point why I removed my molding. SS emblems+SS theme with factory chrome strip molding = disgusting to me, just my opinion though.
If you really wanted to get crazy, you could paint the chrome strip black, and paint the ridges red like the Sport's did:

Just some ideas.
For the grille bowtie, do it like an SS would, black and red.
That's what I did to mine and the red/black combo on the bowtie looks hella cool. Painted it instead of buying it, way too expensive to buy. And yes, get some 350SS stickers! Best purchase I bought for my truck. Have had people ask me if it's a real SS, lol, I say no. I really want to ditch my rear tailgate emblems and get the '90 454SS tailgate sticker banner. Would look hella cool on your truck with the other SS stuff, I like to have a theme, stuff's gotta match or else it looks weird or tacky.
Sorry for the long post, but the SS look is what I live for, lol. If someone's looking to make their truck look like an SS or talks about an SS truck, I'm all over that, lol.
