Default Help!!! "CORVETTE" letters on the back.

Who's got'em? and where did you get them? Are you satisfied with them.

Okay....I did some research...
Which ones are better? Ecklers or AutoGeeks?
Niether site has pictures.

Ecklers Corvette letters are $34.99
AutoGeek's Corvette letters are $19.95 + $3.00 for recommended Adhesion Promoter.

What I want to know though is which looks best? If they are the same, I'll just buy AutoGeeks letters.

...or should I just forget about them? :cheers:

I bought my letters from Zip Products. I think they were $13. I got the red vinyl letters. They went on great and I'm very happy with the looks.

got mine from ecklers for less than $20, seems like they were $16 or so. no complaints, went on easy, look good, have stood up to car washes, etc. and at that price if they need to be replaced, no big deal .

No, actually I was talking about the raised letters. The chrome letters at Ecklers are like $35 and the ones at AutoGeeks are $17.

Check it out at AutoGooks
They at least have some info on it, while Ecklers shows none.

Got the ones from MAD - cleaned the back really well, dried with chamois and let sit overnight before fitting the letters. They stick really well, haven't had a problem and they've been washed lots of times in the last year. Check the web site for the rear end pictures.

I looked at the raised letters....but decided to go with the flush fit vinyl letters. I just didn't like the way the raised letters stuck out away from the body. Seemed to ruin the lines of the car to me.

I originally got the vinyl letters from MidAmerica, and they were so cheap and cheezy that I couldn't bear to put them on. So then I sprung for the raised letter. Went on easy and still look great. Worth the extra $$$.

Yea, the raised letters look really good, and they won't come off too easily.
