letter colors

My C-5 is a M-yellow vert W/blk top. I want to get some letters to fill in the CORVETTE on the back bumper and the front as well. I 1st thought I would go w/ blk but, I have seen yell w/ red on back and I think it looks

but I don't know about it w/ blk top. I have also seen silver and it is sharp too. Please give me your opinions, and pic's if you have them.

thanx

Either black or red, but black would look better IMO.

I would go for the Brakelight Red letters. That is what I used on our car because it matches the taillights. During the day, these letters sparkle like they are lit up. Wow!!

I voted for black, but I believe that the red would look good too. It depends on what you want.

Thanks for the pic. Your painted letters look very good

Does anyone have red on a yellow C-5 vert w/blk top ? If so could you post a pic?

I have the same car as you. Red looks much better. The Black looks kinda dull, IMO. Don't forget to do the same up front. And if you want to be a real poser, I did my calipers in yellow and the bracket in red. I get lots of compliments....but who in a yellow Corvette doesn't, eh?
