Default The Letter "v"

While visiting the Expo in Tennesse the letter V from my front license plate insert (C5) disappeared. Does anyone have a stainless or chrome V insert they would like to part with? I really dislike the thought of buying a new set for one letter. Thanks

Probably better to post this in "Parts for sale/wanted" - - but had a similar thiing with a carbon fiber red bubble letter on the tail on mine. .

Probably going to need to bite the bullet and order a set . . .

Who knows-- might get lucky - - -good luck !

When I had my front and rear fascia's custom painted, I had to remove my nice rounded stainless steel letters that I purchased from Mid-America.

I tried a few different sets over the years and these were by far my favorite. Since I removed them, I decided to run naked with no letters so I have these available for sale if your interested, however I can't sell just one letter. You would need to use a different type of adhesive however since the original adhesive was removed.

If not, I'm sure someone may have an extra "V" letter lying around. However depending on the finish, it may not match up with your other letters.
