Looks very nice and well executed.

I would be interested in the long-term flexibility and resistance to fading or cracking.

Wow....you have a steadier hand than I do....I too would be interested in the long term durability and resistance to cracking. Putting chrome or colored letters there makes me wonder what would happen to them in an accident and airbag deployement....painting is a much better solution to those worries I am sure! Looks great!

Somebody had a post a couple of weeks ago on how to do it. I think it is the same procedure as the rear fascia letters. May be on the Search function.
