Thank you all for the Kudos! And they are a damn good match with the interior Torch Red. I was going for a motif with the red white and chrome. I just cant seem to get a set of TR letters that will stay on I have actually tried like 3 different types. If anyone has any advice, by all means let me know.

Hi y2kcorvettebob -

Use a high-adhesive clear silicone to adhere the letters to the car -

That's what I had to do with the red letters I put on the coupe - they started coming off after a few weeks, the silicone has kept them on fast.

best regards -

I've been waiting for a white car with stripes. Have you got any pics of the back? I was thinking blue to go with the Corvette racing colors in Europe. But the red was always in the back of my mind. Red just goes so well with white.
