acrylic letters
I am thinking of acrylic letters front and back
on my torch red 03 coupe. Need input on color, thinking black,
chrome and even red. Any input and pictures would be
appreciated. I am looking at the ones corvette central sells
My interior is black. Also doing nothing is an option
Thanks in advance for your opinion

Wouldn't do red - kind of pointless on a TR car IMO. Either go with black or chrome.

There may be a few responses suggesting you paint your own indents with special car spray paint. Ther eis a "How To" on the Forum and may guys did it to their C6. What color are your wheels? I would match the color acrylic to that.
My ride is Arctic White and that si what I will do.

I have the chrome on my Pewter Vette and I like it, It really depens on your theme, Black would look good as long as you don't have any chrome on the car.
Just me 2 cents.

I have had my acrylic ones on for years without any issue and this is a daily driver year round (meaning I wash it a LOT). It's all in the prep. The vinyl sticker type ones have been known to peel though.

Do they come in a brushed aluminum style? That might look good with your silver wheels!

Torch red here with dark red (maroon?) letters. I wanted them to blend nicely and not stand out too much. Looks more like it came that way to me. They are just die cut vinyl I think, and have been on my daily driver for 5 years now through all kinds of weather. Still look great! 
Not a great pic, but here ya go.

Mine's Mag Red but I have stainless steel letters.
No danger of them falling off providing you prep the paint first. I used denatured alcohol and the primer that came with the letters.
