Black T/A door letters on Arctic white? Anybody done this? Im debating on doing it, I love the contrast between black and white. Im going to do the CETA mod on it, and my due the black letters. Does anybody also know where I could get the letters? Or do I just re-paint them?

I say no molding or emblems to smooth it out, but if you want the emblem go either factory painted black or stainless. Don't get vinyl overlays it cheapens the look of the car.

DO IT! I think it looks good on the Pontiacs no matter what color, and white on black (or red even) would look very clean. And you may want to consider pulling the side molding off, it really gives a nice smooth body line look.

Personally, I wouldn't get the overlays. Buy brand new BLACK letters and be done with it. Never will peel away or anything. Got mine for like $40 on eBay. I deleted my molding and left my emblem. Just about any color will work with white. Black, Red, Blue, etc.

i agree about any color, however if you get the vinyls from Brent Franker, you will have confidence they will never pull off. i would have no problem taking my car through a car wash or anything. and at 8 bucks, its a steal. they are such high quality, its rediculous. while new emblems work just as well, the overlays are so nice. i got like 6 different types for about 50 bucks from brent about 2 years ago.

I have no doubt that they look good and are long lasting. My buddy has the overlays, but looking at them, it doesn't have that "3D" effect if you know what I'm saying. You can still the see the white on "top" of the letters. Like when you're standing close and looking down at them, they are still white. The entire outside of the letters is still white. I guess it's just personal preference. Best pic I have of overlays. Sorry.
