The bowtie can always be transferred onto a new grill- they pop right off the bumper cover. I would def make sure you get a polished one. I like the ones with a smaller gap between the slits personally- I think they look a little better. Also remember that just like everything else you get what you pay for. If you spend $20 on a grill its going to look like a $20 grill. I spent almost a $100 on a grill on my car and it fit perfectly. A buddy of mine spent $40 and we spent 30 minutes grinding it and rebending it to make it fit right. I'm a perfectionist so that doesn't help but you get the idea.
But get what you like, not what everyone else likes...

I got mine off Ebay- I think it was "Mr. Grill" or something like that. I bought it quite a few years ago now, but mine was satin and not polished. With your car a polished grill would go much better with everything you have.

That looks just like the one my buddy got. I'm not trying to **** on your parade or anything, but we had a lot of trouble trying to get it to look right. The sides were bent and it didn't have the right contour to match the bumper. If you look in the picture it almost looks like its tipped down, which was the problem we had. Also the bars are pretty cheaply made- they don't hold their shape very well when you tighten it against the bumper.
I just don't want to see you spend $50 on a grill only to have it not fit right and not be happy. Just sharing my experience with a grill like that- perhaps it was an isolated incident.
Like I said before, I would save a little longer and get a grill thats a little more but will fit like its supposed too.

I got mine off of eBay, and you can't buy it with the bowtie. The bowtie is a seperate piece, off a '69 Camaro, that was slightly modified and then attached. I know my grille wasn't more than $75, and it fit really good, right off the bat. I think I got mine from grille4you, can't remember.
