Not an option.
63-67 were Sting Rays (two words)
68 is Corvette only, no Stingray fender scripts
69-76 are Stingrays (one word) with fender scripts
77-82 Corvette only, no fender scripts

You are going to have to take measurements from another chrome bumper car. You will drill the 4 holes on each side, then put the scripts in and they will stay because they are pressure fitted.

I'd be happy to. I saw a previous post that you needed the location from a chrome bumper car. Mine is rubber. How are they different??? Seems like the "Stingray" would be the same location. If that's wrong, please post it....gp

You're entitled to your opinion, but that's why I'll be putting the scripts on MY car, not YOURS 
Well said 
...I added them to my 81. Here is my two cents worth - all C3's generally speaking have the same body type - who can figure Chevy out when they called some of the C3s Stingray and later model years nothing at all or used the cross flags or "Cross Fire" on the fenders. I figured it belonged there and was an oversight by Chevy .

i see three wins here,- 1st- you modify your car to your liking and something different to see at car shows, 2nd- your gonna buy parts from a supplier and keep him in business, 3rd- we all will have supplier in business to order from and thats a WIN for all of us.
