Default Need Help Finding Bumper Inserts.....Pics Inside

I just got this 02 only problem I can find with it is that its missing part of the R on the bumper insert. I don’t know where to go to find this exact set to replace the R. Most of the kits I have found look like stickers. This is like a 3D block letter type, not sure where to find it. Anyone have any ideas?



Please excuse the dirty look of the Car, I had to drive it from the dealer on snow cover road and slush

I have the same bumper lettering. It is the "Chrome Bumper Letter" set. Several places have them but I believe that I got mine from Ecklers. Here is the description:

Corvette Rear Bumper Lettering Kit, 1997-2004

Raised plastic letters self-align within indents in rear bumper. Affix with self-adhesive. Available in red, black, white, chrome and gold. Specify color when ordering.

Item# 35924


$19.99 kit

Just my 2 cents but I think you'll be happier with the polished set from Chip at CCA, a supporting vendor who has all quality stuff for very reasonable prices.

Yeah, I am thinking about going with a stainless set for the extra money. I will give them a call.

Just my .02 but I have a dark green vette and went with the Tail light red that are reflective and refractive. A soft plastic, had on two over 2 yrs now and no problems. If, you are thinking about changing all of them.

They fit more flush as the corners are rounded a little and they show up at night like reflectors. I like them on the dark color car and they go good with the tail-lights.

I think Ecklers for around $60? a set. I think they call them 3D for some reason. They fit nice in the rear letters and they don't stand out as much so easy to clean, I like them.

PS They are not just flat stickers but don't stick out like some solid letters. Remind me of a Gummy Bear.

Ohh, Congrats! on your getting the Vette, you will enjoy.

Not great shots but gives you an Idea
