Custom Corvette Accessories?
I'm looking at getting a black vinyl "corvette" lettering for the rear of the vette.
Do these guys have decent quality?
Just checking em out before I order anything.

Don't know about this vendor in particular, but some here have had problems with the stainless steel letters. Haven't seen much about the vinyl ones. Recognize it's going to be in an area where your wash mitt may disturb it.
What color is your vette? I painted the letters with a paint pen on my silver C6.

Its a silver vette, which is why I dont want the chrome lettering.
I've had vinyl lettering on my firebird for over a year and they still look great, so I'm not concerned with the vinyl being a problem.
Is there another vendor that is recommended for vinyl decals like that?

I bought the stainless steel ones, instruction says bend the "vt" just very little to match the curve and utilize the primer, a must! with it it will make the letters stick very well, no problems. if you don't want ss then get the acrylic ones, NOT the vinyl

I bought the vinyl letters from Ecklers and they will not stick! But, the problem may be that I had Zaino'd the bumper earlier. I tried cleaning with alcohol and dishwashing detergent but no luck. What removes Zaino?

Alright, well for 20 bucks I'll probably go ahead and try em and I'll let you guys know how they turn out. 
Powdercoated black stainless badges would be slick...but more money than I care to spend for what it is.

Be sure to let us know how the vinyl works out. That's the way the rest of us learn what works and what doesn't.
