If you have to keep a plate on the front of your car, I guess that isn't something to consider though. Here is another attempt of mine to post pictures (never been sucessful yet).





Nice pics first timer! SS on the front looks better than red but red on the back and interior is verrrrrrry ! Did that help?

As so many have said, both look good.

However, I was going with more red than that (interior and stripes) so red looked best for me.

Both would look good, but I'd go with the red.

I've had red on all 3 of my 'vettes, but now looking at the SS inserts... WOW. I really like that look. The red looks cool with the red lights - but the SS looks sharp with the exhaust. My red faded for some reason - need to get another set. Methinks SS for me.

You all that have the SS: Are these the decal sticker things? Or are they rigid letters?

Mine are the actual SS insterts. They are rigid letters, I was worried about that at first (if they don't fit right) - but the quality and fit are great on them.

Either would look great - but I agree, the brakelight red looks very nice. Have them on my pewter car.

I tried to stay with a theme. The only chrome on my car is the rims and the exhaust. everything else body, interior and trim wise is yellow, red or black. I went with the brake light red. But my car's yellow and I didn't think the SS would set the azzend off *** much see my sig
