I really think that something like a brakelight red would look great, but since you already had red on there and took them off, try chrome letters. They would look good too.

I have stainless on mine and get a lot of positive comments. However my car is pewter and the theme is different. I would suggest either black(carbon) or nothing in your case.

Vote for SS letters. It's the way the car should have come from Bowling Green
