Lettering sets

I have a 2002 C-5 Speedway White exterior color with torch red interior. Completely stock. Am giving thought to adding red lettering to the front license plate frame as well as the rear Corvette fascia. Not sure if this will look as good as I expect. Does anyone have a picture they can share with this added on? Thanking you in advance. Re-joyce

Graphics/letters Installing tips.

I installed some graphics over the summer and beside using de-natured alcohol you should pre-treat the area where the adhesive touches the car with 3m "Adhesive Promoter" #4298 www.bondplex.com Once you wipe the area just under the spot were the letter goes, and use this adhesive promoter 0.5 oz.pen the letters are welded onto the surface. Mine now look as if the crew down at Bowling Green would have done it. Make sure if you use this adhesion pre-treating that you soak the end of a Q-tip with the primer and wipe only the area where the adhesive under the letter goes.

PS: I'd go with red or gold letters !

I too have a 2002 Speedway White convertible with Torch Red interior and White top. I bought the "red" Corvette letters for the rear a few months back from West Coast Corvettes. It looks great, you will love it. I will get you a picture as soon as I can. Car is at my home in FL and I won't be back until Dec 4th.

Red lettering would look very good with your white C5. I would suggest something like the brakelight red letters - can be bought from Ecklers. I ran them on my pewter '00 and now have them on my electron blue '03.
