Coloring in "Corvette"
What does everyone use to color in the words Corvette on the dash and rear bumper cover? I want to do yellow on the dash and maybe black on the rear bumper. Would appreciate any pics of what you have done too.

I have the Cyberdine 3D letters on my passenger air bag and rear fascia, but here's several files that talks about painting the rear fascia letters.

There is NO way I would attempt that myself. To me it would be worth paying a professional shop to do that before I risk screwing up my paint job!

I used a letter kit for the dash. Dropped the middle part of the first "E" into the airbag area. Used the silver paint pen that I am going to use for the gauge rings to color it in. You cannot even tell. I don't know what's up with the letters not looking right in pictures, but they are very even and straight in person. Must be something in the reflection.
I may tape off and plastidip the letters in the bumpers. Worth a try for a little time and a few bucks.

For the rear bumper I bought a set of stickers on ebay; $10. Windex on the bumper, apply sticker while wet, squeeze out excess liquid, let dry, end result looks great. 
I had airbag stickers from a vendor on my old C5 and they fell off almost immediately. Wasn't the best purchase I ever made.

I saw another method for painting them. This is the one I was thinking of trying.
Mine were painted on my '94 and I liked it. Never had to worry about anything coming off and they looked good.
