I have a pewter vette and did not want chrome. These I think would look great on light colors.

I have a pewter and am thinking about getting them. I currently have chrome.
I have seen on another and looks great.

Check the C5 parts forum, as someone is having a sale on front and rear black chrome letters.

Interesting.... for pics

My silver C5's rear lettering is still untouched because I haven't found anything I liked enough to put there. I'm tempted to just fiberglass in the letters and paint over it!

Sorry no pics, but IMO the black chrome would look great on a silver C5.

I've got a set I haven't put on my monochromatic Arctic White vert - yet. Maybe this weekend. I will tell you they look amazing and would great on your car. Unfortunately, they are almost impossible to photograph beacuse of the way the black chrome reflects light.

Just do it!

Default Black Chrome inserts

Chip @ CCA carries the Black Chrome Inserts. If Chip sells it, you can't go wrong. Great products and customer service. Check out his website @ www.customcorvetteaccessories.com

I know, he's where I got the idea but I want to see it on a silver coupe first.

I've got a MSG coupe with them. I'll post pics tomorrow.

I'm disapointed with them and will not recommend them to anyone.

I bought the front and rear black chrome letters, as both were on sale.
I removed the old chrome ones with a hair dryer.
On my pewter, I think they look great...better than the chrome.
The quality excellant and installation is easy.
I think on the pewter or silver they'll look great.

Sorry to hear that Larry.

We've sold over 200 sets for the C5 and C6 and have had nothing but good reviews.

I am not sure what you were expecting, but black chrome is not black, it is chrome that has a tint to it.

I hate for any customer to be "disappointed" with one of our products.
Even though you mentioned in your PM you did not want a refund, I issued you a full refund anyways.

Peace
Chip
