I did stainless letters because the embossed area looked unfinished and cheap to me.
Had there been no indentation I wouldn't have added them like on the *** end of my friends 911.
If there wasn't a couple of holes in the fascia I'd remove both badges. The rear one is only still on because my paint has bubbled under it and I'm concerned I'll damage it.
It wasn't about letting people know what I've got or I'd have an LS2 badge on it.

My letters are black but at night they are reflective. I think it looks awesome. I bought them from reflective concepts

On a side note, do you catch some grief about the Tide plate in Georgia???

Why do some people think their opinion is important enough to make negative comments? If someone doesn't like something that someone else does and it does NOT affect them in any way, shape or form, then why do they even open their yap? Oh yeah, I forgot... they're behind their keyboard. I don't care for or like tattoos but do you think I mouth off to other people that do like them? Nope. Only thing I'm sure of is that I think my opinion of MY stuff is WAY more important than what you think of my stuff. Adios. (and I'm keeping my BSMs too, so there)

I'm looking for some high quality black lettering for my rear as well. The black looks great on yellow. Anyone have a link to some good black ones? My normally frequented mod sites seem to either not have black ones or they're backordered.

More of CF raised letters. I like them as they are not as thick looking as some others.
