C6 Corvette lettering on dash

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions on how I can mount a ss lettering kit to the dash of my C6. I do not want to damage the dash and may want to remove this lettering in the future. The acrylic lettering doe not look good so I do not want to use this type of lettering.

Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

I've thrown out two sets of metal letters and highly recommend the acrylic over metal...

I like the look of the body color sets.

I have the metal dash inserts, been on for almost three years no problem. Take the time to pre fit before taking off the backing making sure the letters conform to the curve of the dash, the letters can be bent to follow the contour of the dash. Take time to carefully remove all coatings in the letters with alcohol and q-tips and you should have no problems.
