A friend of mine had those on his black C5 vert. It looked really good, however he has since traded into a C6.

They were really nice and also reflective. Someone said before that they began remaking them, but no longer reflected light.

I just noticed these from Actionautoaccessories.com. They are Titanium black...a bit pricey but they look great. Anyone have these?

I thought Ecklers still carried them. Not sure if they are the originals or not.

As much as I like this I'm trying to wrap my head around if it would be possible and how much work would be involved to cut out the pressed in letters on our C5s butts and rig up a light to illuminate the letters in brake light red. Anyone know if the lettering is flush on the inside of them? Perhaps a lot of patience and a dremel...Hmmmmm...

Thanks Spectrum, depending on the angle of the light it will change colors. I don't think they sell it anymore.

Another shot.

To answer a PM, they are the raised 3 dimensional insert that is made of 3M material. I got them in chrome from Vette Works International, here: http://vetteworksintl.com/3DC5rearletters.html

I was thinking "that" spectrum (light), but never seen any bumper graphics like that on a Vette. That should be nice, changing colors with the angle of light....

I ordered some last night (different company specializing in custom emblems/hydrographics), but I'm keeping with my black/pewter theme.
