Default rear corvette logo (pic)

My rear corvette letters are in very bad condition. and dont stand out.

dont want to spend money on new letters since I already have my.

i was thinking on painting, in white. or may be i can take some sugestion about color.

but the real problem is. that the letters are glue to the car. so i dont want to remove the letters to do the job.

any ideas out there

White sounds good. Silver or gold would work. Go with whatever color you like best.

On my '86 the raised part of the letters is black and the borders around the edges are gray.

I'm also looking for an answer to this question: what is the "#" symbol called in Spanish? In English it's called "hash" (???), "pound" (libra) and "number" (numero).

Cool! I have a iPhone app in the Apple app store that is a Spanish dictionary and I decided to add symbols to it after I spent a month or two trying to find out what "arroba" means (it's the @ sign in email addresses).
