Need Input: Front and Rear Letter Sets
I'd like to get opinions on front license plate and rear lettering sets. Which looks better: the plain flat letters or the raised/domed letters. I've not seen either in person.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi Tigershark3 -
I have the domed poly letters from Mid-America.
I really like the look of these - they are like gems - they have a silver reflective backing that makes them sparkle- (not refletors, just reflective...)
I had trouble with the adhesive, though - so I used clear silicone to adhere them to the car, and that worked like a charm.
They are by far the best looking letters out there - having looked at several different kinds of letters on cars at shows etc.
Of course that is purely objective - what looks good to me might not look good to you.
Best Regards -

Flat all the way 
If you ever go to a car show and your emblems protrudes out further than the cavity that it's in. You get points deducted for that ( Looks kind of tacky and home made )
Go with the flat Stainless Steel and if you need to paint them. I tried 3 different sets before I went with the SS

- I had the "flat" letters and they just didn't do it for me. Replaced them (Front and Rear) with SS Inserts. Quality product and a great look.

Raised domed letters look very good. I have a set of the brakelight red ones from Mid-America - very, very nice.
