stainless. These are acrylic and they're beginning to peel.

I just ordered the SS of ebay from Atlantic Corvette today. Polished 316 laser cut stainless for about $75 for the front and rears. We just put a set of SS on my son's C4 this week as well. The only way to go.

Thanks for the pic. Those look great on the silver. I have been hedging on putting them on my 01 QS vert but not now!

Was that $75 for both front and rear?

If so let us know if you are pleased with them when they arrive as that is a very good price for both front and rear.

I'm running a set of the brakelight red epoxy letters available through Mid-America on mine. I think they look great and fit flush with the fascia.

You have to admit this is the most economical way to dress up your rear end, after all, it is, what people see most .

I received the front and rear letters from Atlantic Corvette. Nice product, fit was good, but not perfect. Rear better than front. That said, I have not really looked close to others to know if these are better or worse than other vendors. Overall, I am happy with what I got. Here is the rear installed.

I had a set of stainless in the Gold color. IOne letter fell off last fall. Couldn't find any company selling the gold colored stainless that would sell me just one replacement letter...wasn't going to pay over $100 for set when I only needed one letter! Went with acrylic...lot's less expensive if a letter falls off......

I have SS on my silver 01. Looks good IMHO. No pic handy.

I had a set on a 98 once, they were thick enough that they actually stuck out. Couldn't drag a wash mitt across them without getting caught on the letters. Aggravating or what!!
