Default Ss Letters

I see a large range in prices for the SS Letters.

Are they all the same, and if not, your opinions on the best price and place to purchase.


Thanx

Simplest mod in the world, just take your time and make sure the car is clean and dry. also nice if it sits in the sun for 10 minutes (dont do if its cold out).

ss inserts has very good prices and supplies you with a prep solution i would get those every time and only get Stainless Steel - no viynal, no plastic - ONLY stainless steel.

GOOD LUCK - they look assume when installed - you wont regret it.

Purchased mine from SSInserts. Very easy install - great product. As everyone has stated, the key is good cleaning. I used denatured alcohol (leaves no film), then applied the adhesive promoter supplied and then applied the letters. No problem with the "R".

Is it just me or does these WCC letters fill out the indents more than the SS Inserts letters?? Are these letters larger than SS Inserts?

I just read WCC's installation instructions. They use silicone adhesive that they say won't harm the paint and is removable? I don't know if I buy that...

Got mine at Corvettes of Houston. Cleaned area with q=tips and denatured alcohol. They came with adhesive promoter and are on now just as well as when I put them on. It was in Jan. but used a hairdryer to warm the area up before I applied them.
