Default Which are the Best Chrome/SS Inserts? Pics?

My wife just said for me to go ahead and order the chrome/ss inserts for my TR coupe as her Christmas gift to me.

Which are the best in terms of longevity and quality? I like the shiny look and think it adds a lot to the rear of a red Vette.

Any pics would be appreciated. Thanks!

They look great on red too ... Just remember to angle the second line of the E the same as the rest of the letter or your reflection will be off. Just .02

Thanks MyVetteDream and Patches for the info and pictures. I (my wife) ordered from SS Inserts, a vendor listed on the left margin. Looks like they have some quality stuff at great prices.

Thanks again for the tip.
