One FRC done...

I got one done and realized these little CORVETTE letters suck. They are very hard to work with.

Nothing special just black and chrome. Now I have to figure out what other bling to add under the hood

Just looking at the pic, don't see anything wrong with the way those look.

The letters are too hard to work with. I want the raised letters.

The letters and stripes were a pain in the a$$ for me to paint. Hopefully you got the decal kit.

I did, but the letters are horrible. The 5.7L part wasn't bad, but the CORVETTE should not be done in the thin vinyl like material. It's too hard to work with IMO.

Looks GREAT though.

I'd like to see a vendor offer these in Stainless steel (both the letters and stripes) like the ones they make for the rear bumper!
