Letter Kit Input Please
Considering a letter kit mod ( front & rear) & I was hoping someone would chime in on a style & color that would compliment my Mag Red coupe. A pic would be an added bonus!

You need to pick a color scheme. I went with black letters as I have some black outs on the front lights and fairly dark tinted windows as well. I can email pics if my sig is not sufficient.

Black would look good imo but only if that was your color scheme. Actually, if you got some black Z06 motorsports and blacked out the lights, with your tinted windows it would look killer!
Of course if you decide to go with a silver accent theme, you can't get any better quality letter inserts than the Stanless Steel Inserts mentioned at the above

Good luck in your decision.

Stainless or chrome is the way to go - stay away from the acrilic types - they suck!
Look quick at the sig pics, mine are chrome.

The stainless steel inserts look great. Think twice before you put the little parts of the E on. They are difficult to put on strait.

I had adhesive letters and didn't care for the look. I finally painted them black (on mag red) and I really like the look, very "factory" looking.

I tried the white vinyl type on the Vert but they lasted 2 weeks and peeled off in the Vegas sun.
Went with the Stainless steel letters and they are well worth the investment. Look great IMHO.
