Tail panel "Corvette" lettering question
Is the Corvette tail panel logo (below the third brake light) on 92 and up supposed to be body colored or were they a different color?

Thats what I always thought too. I talked with a guy yesterday that I thought was more knowledgable on Corvettes than I was, and he told me they were always a contrasting color......I didn't know?????????

They come body colored, but you can get "fill-ins" for them...

From the factory - body color. Anything else is aftermarket.

I filled mine in with the raised black letters. Makes it looks much better.

The early C4's had contrasting colors for the lettering. Mine are black and i've also seen gold ones.

Nah. ALL Corvettes are red. They just paint 'em different colors.
