Default Lost a C

Washing the car this weekend and on of the letters on the butt blew off. It was the "C". Now I'm driving a ORVETTE. Is there a store that will sell single letters?

Speak to the vendor that sold you the letters. most of them will provide a replacement letter free under those circumstances

Sorry to laugh, that's funny!


I agree with DeeGee, they might send you a replacement - Good Luck!

Default lost a C

Welcome to the club. I too have an orvette and ust ordered a new set of letters as investing- No one has singles unless you post and hope someone lost a " V " and is willing to part with the "C".

The set only costed me 20.10 with shipping. Almost all the catalogs are offering 10-20% off all orders so order now & save !!

I NEVER wash my car with high pressure! Just a thumb over the water hose. Then again... my car rarely gets dirty and is claybarred three times a year and waxed once a month. ;-)

Earlier this week I was buffing my car and the R came off. But a little dab of epoxy stuck it right back on - no problems. Did you lose your C or do you still have it?
