Default stainless steel letters

Does anyone sell stainless steel letters for the FRONT license plate, like the ones for the rear? I've tried some of the acrylic letters with poor results.

I got both my front and reat ones from ssinserts.com. Great product and great service (stainless steel and cut to fit flush with the body in the letter spaces). A little pricy but a high quality product.

I bought mine from e-bay from the guy below. They are nice with very quick delivery maybe 2 days. Cheapest I've seen I wish I saw him before I bought my rear ones from WCC.

Yes I have them and they have been on for 2 years. Still look great. I can't find the order form, so I do not know where I ordered them from. I figure there is only one or two place manufacturing them, and dozens selling them. Sorry I do not remember.

I got mine from ssinserts.com. They are a little expensive but when I was doing my research, a few of the FM indicated ssinserts had the best customer service. One member went so far as to admit he fouled one of the letters up, called ssinserts and they replaced the letter at no cost.

Regardless of your choice of vender much sure you do the prep work before you do the install.

This is what I got on the front of my car. I used to have the silver acrylic ones before. This is a great upgrade

Go to ZIP Products.... a Forum Vendor: They have'm for $59.95...in stock...I just put them on mine. If you scroll down the Vendor Listings (they follow GM Parts Direct)...click Zip, and in their home page, go to C5 products, Exterior Accessories & they are there.
