Earl, I got mine on eBay. Just search it on eBay and you'll find a bunch of them. I got the chrome but, the Black will look great on your white vette.

I bought mine from Ecklers (domed type, Epoxy) and installed them nearly 9 years ago. They have held up very well and look great.

The domed ones are what I also used. They look more like something that would come from the factory not just like a cheap stick on. Mine have been on my vette for at least 6-7 years.
Good luck!

It's a good idea to thoroughly clean the indented areas so that the adhesive on the letters will stick. Using Dawn dishwasing soap will remove any wax. Run a finger in the depressions and if you feel any grit, get a clay bar to remove it. Then apply the lettering. You can re-wax the area around the letters.
