Default Which PONTIAC inlays for rear bumper?

I have been debating on doing this for years, and now I might add it to the list of winter projects for the appearance of my T/A. I just can't decide which ones to go with, so I am looking for some help fellow techers.

I am thinking about 3 colors for the inserts........
1. stainless
2. black
3. dark grey/charcoal(cause I am thinking about changing my blackbird stripes from currently black to charcoal ones)

Here's a couple pics of my T/A.......

I voted black as they will stand out more than chrome will on a silver car.

i voted charcoal (even though the difference is barely noticable. But if you also change the blackbird stripes i think it would all work very well with your rims.

I thought about it for a while. I couldnt decide if i even wanted them at all, but i ended up going with a non-reflective balck. I thought the reflective lettering would be a little much and it wouldnt be any kind of matching color.

Now if one of our sponsors could offer black lettering that could reflect a different color, THAT would be cool. Or maybe a colored reflective letter, that had a black outline... hmmmm.....

Jeff it all depends on what you do with the blackbir stripes.

If you keep the black bird stripes, get black inserts

other wise the other option is stainless steel


Which reminds me, i need to order my black, blackbird stripes

black. you need a contrasting color to make it pop out. stainless and gray would blend in.

Black would look great. Oh, and I have GOT to see your car. I live in Naperville and take classes at Benedictine.
