It's hard to go wrong with SS Inserts or COH for those.

Consider going with the brakelight red epoxy decals that are sold by Mid-America (part number 606-751). I have them on mine and they look great. Here's a pic:

Have the same type as above
Got mine from Ecklers, called 3D i believe. They are reflective and refractive...come in several different colors.. I have the brakelight red. Soft plastic but thick and rounded edges, seem to stick well and look great in the headlights.
Sorry don't have a good pic of them....about $50

I have a spiral grey coupe with the stainless letters. They definitely look the best. I tried to match my wheels, so if I had black or grey wheels I would go painted to match. I have Alum CCW's so I went with the stainless.

I used the vinyl ones first, they lasted about 6 months, then went in and did the plastic ones, they've been on for about 2 years with no trouble. I may go back and redo them again with the epoxy ones like JDs00PewterCoupe because I still think those look best.

Thanks Cozmo. I've been asking for months to see some black letters on MSG. I've see a ton of SS (which I think look OK), but no black. So I've been on the fence about it. You just helped me make up my mind, black it is.
