What are you looking for, vinyl, plastic or stainless steel? Makes a big difference in price.

Hey Mike,

We have the SS, but I think what you are looking for can be found at RPI Designs

Peace

It all depends on what style you are looking for. Mid-America and Ecklers have them for $60.00. Go on there website and check them out.

Got mine from RPI for cheaper than that. It does depend on what you are looking for though.

Caution!!! You only get what you pay for. Mid America has the nicely rounded stainless steel ones for $89. These are the only ones I would put on my car. The other stainless ones are just flat stainless with sharp edges. Just my $.02

Any one know where to get these for a more "reasonable" price?

They're not crazy - I ordered the reflector red, they are thick, smooth and look like they "glow in the dark" - if you just want "letters" get you some cheap flat vinyl or use some "testor's" paint.


You get what you pay for..

Like's been said before...you get what you pay for.

I have the SS Inserts lettering kit on the back of my '97, but I also like the looks of the CyberdineGraphics set.
