Default Need letter inserts...

I know this has been beat to death- but I am looking to get a set of front and back Black letter inserts for my 97 Torch Red. I like the red\black combo...anyone got good suggestions on where to get a decent set that will stay on?

Cheers!

I got a set of brakelight red letters from Mid-America. Put them on last summer and they are stuck on there very well. I'd recommend seeing if they have what you are looking for.

East Coast Corvettes is having a sale on the chrome inserts. Maybe Todd can also get you the black inserts for the same price.

I bought the plastic ones last year and they are still on. They also stick out so it gives a 3d look.

In this pic you can kinda see them sticking out

Just Put SS INserts on my Electron Blue Yesterday. They say not to get them wet for 3 days so I can't wash her and take her out.

Overall I have heard good words about them...

Good luck on your decision.

I know you asked about black but..... I put SS letters on my Carmine Red '97 and love the look. Good luck with your choice.
