She had the raised lettering in silver when I picked her up. Have been going back and forth on whether to remove them or not. Can't decide!

Bought mine from Ecklers online. Smooth vinyl chrome, no edges sticking out, nice durable finish, Put them on myself 2 years ago and still no problems. You cant beat chrome over yellow !!

Apparently some letters are too raised and thus peel up when you run your washcloth over them during washing. Any out there who don't suffer this problem?

Also, would anybody argue that it's stupid to have these anyway? Do they look cheap/trashy?

Carbon fiber on pewter - not a lot of difference from black but they do look cool in the sunlight and they go with the black-chrome wheels...
