Default rear pontiac letters?

I've been debating over the pontiac letters in the rear of the car. To install those fill in letters or not?

I don't care for the stainless look, I like the vinyl decals that reflect.
Black would look great on your car, and the black reflective decal would reflect back white.

Peace,
Craig.

I just noticed your CETA style rear bumper, DO NOT GET STAINLESS or chrome or whatever. That would trash everything else you have going on in the back of your car, which is red/black scheme.

IMHO get black decals, reflective would be cool like I mentioned before if you wanted that.

I have all my badges on both of my cars that way, only pics I have are of the SS badges. Here are a few:

Chrome wheels has no bearing on the rear of the car, you would not see the wheels and rear bumper at the same time.
Now if you were talking about the Trans Am door badges in chrome/stainless (if he had chrome wheels) then I could see that.

I never really liked the stainless/chrome badges on anything at all, maybe black cars but thats it.

Peace,
Craig.

LMAO! I was thinking that when I typed it.

Damn good idea! Better then my idea that I wanted to do. But I wanted to put those reflective decals over the inserts. That would cost a pretty penny to do both. Now if he painted it like you said, that would be cheap!

I can't remmeber what sponsors sell either the fill in inserts or vinyl ones. There are a few sponsors that sell both, I bought my reflective ones from Reflective Concepts (non-sponsor).

*Edit:
Afterthoughts Auto has them:

Are those FM5's on the SS? Both of your cars are killer.

fourthcircledesigns for the vinyl lettering, they have reflective too and are very reasonable

Please do not post non-sponsor contact info.
