Here are SS inserts on pewter if that will give you some idea.

I have them and love the look, but I don't have any pics that really show how good they look. It is difficult to get a good pic that shows the contrast you can see in person. CAJUNY2KC5 did a good job, though! But MSG is a bit darker so the letters stand out a bit more.

BigJoe is right, CAJUNY2KC5 did an excellent job on that shot. I will try and take the same type of angle shot tonight and hope it turns out as good.

It is tough to get a good shot. But the SS inserts on MSG look great and do stand out more. It's a great color to begin with and one of my favorites!!!

Here you go. This isn't a bad shot. Hopefully it will help out. Sorry about the pic size, though.

Well the weather people here in DFW completly blew the forecast. It rained like a son-of-a-*bleep* out here for at least 3 hours. 24 hours ago they said it would be bone dry. So no pictures tonight. Hopefully, I will be able to do it tomorrow.

The SS inserts would look good on MSG. Another option would be the brakelight red acrylic ones - they look great.

I've been very happy with mine (see sig). They give a very refined, sophisticated look to the back.

The inserts look really great.

I'm thinking about doing it to my '03 MSG Coupe

Don't get me wrong - I love my pewter Vette. But if I ever wake up some day and find it has decided to change colors on its own - I hope it's MSG. Great car guys!!!

I have SS inserts on my mag red coupe and they look great. I think they will look great on any color. They are a quality product that looks as though it belongs on the car. They are really well made and look rich.
