Default Stainless Steel Inserts-Front and Back ?

I was getting ready to order some SS inserts for the rear of my car and was wondering, how many of you also do the front. I noticed there was not a price break for ordering both at the same time. Pewter is my color and it was between red and stainless. I've decided I liked SS better. Just curious how many do front and back. Always like pics if you have them. Thanks

I have both the front & rear s.s. letters from http://www.ssinserts.com/
Lost one of the front letters recently and they replaced it free of charge! Great company to do business with.

Good choice........you'll like the look.

I chose not to do the front for this reason. It is nice to see a vendor took care of the situation!

Wifey got me front and rear for X-mas...won't give them to me until tomorrow

I ordered a new front plate from GMpartsdirect.com and had it painted the other day so I could put the letters on a "free from road rash" front plate.

SS Inserts - $140.00
New Front Plate/Shipping/painted - $100.00

My wife got me a set for the rear only right now. Like another member mentioned earlier, I can't open them until tomorrow either.

Maybe I'll get the fronts for my birthday next Thursday!

Can't take any credit for it...I got it lurking in this forum. I agree, it's a real asset to have.
