Anyone have any thoughts on what the best Raised Letters to use on the rear bumper and front plate? I see Ecklers has these is there a better place? Thanks.

I think Chip just had his Stainless Steel ones on sale. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe his company is CCA. Give a search and I bet you will find it.
My opinion is the plastic looks cheap and the SS looks great on any color.

I got mine from Corvette Central (CYBERDINE's I believe), they are "puffy" not flat. They go on easy after a thorough cleaning and have stayed put after hitting them a bit with a hair dryer. I have the passenger air bag lettering and steering wheel emblem too.

I bought a set of stainless letters a while back from Corvettes of Houston. If you would like them, $30 would do it for me. I saw them on a 'vette the day after I got them and didn't care for the look on the yellow. I have red polyurethane letters now.

I bought black poly letters from Mid America. Five years later they are doing fine and look great on my TR Coupe. Back bumper only.

The trend is SS letters are the best. I have the plastic letters, from Ebay.
