Looking for some pictures or suggestions for what color Rear Bumper Corvette Insert Letters to order for my Victory Red Vette. I am thinking of Carbon Fiber?? Thanks for the pictures and/or suggestions.

Carbon Fiber would be nice BUT I think Gloss Black would look better

Paint it black so there's no edges for polishing cloths to get caught on.

I bought a set of gold ones for my black C6 from Mid America. I know I prepped things well but some letters fell off (the V tied into the 2 T's) after only 2 weeks. I paid $60 for 'em!

Mid America was stand up about it though - "must have been defective. We'll send you a replacement free of charge"


(just thought I'd share)

I did stainless on the rear of my '07 MR as well and like it. From RPI, I got the chrome ones for the interior but not real happy with them. They are ok but not great. I should have bought the stainless ones instead. These didn't stick real well even though the surface was cleaned carefully. Oh well.. not worried about it. The outside ones were very nice and look great.
