Default Chrome Lettering

Hi, I am looking for the best option for rear letter of the Corvette name on the rear bumper/deck. I would like to find some chrome letters as I think those wold be the best long term and all I can find is plastic chrome or polished stainless steel.

Oh, well I am asking, are there any good chrome exhaust tips? Is the stainless steel a better option?

Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Ted

I don't recall seeing any chrome lettering for the rear fascia - only polished stainless steel. The polished will work fine and look good for many years as long as you don't scratch it with something.

Some of the forum vendors (Mid-America, Ecklers, WCC) probably have some good stainless or chrome exhaust tips that would look good on your car.

West Coast Corvettes stainless steel. Been on for over 12 years. Best option if you want chrome. They are also flush with the body unlike some plastic lettering kits I've seen.
