Question what color inserts?!?!!?

I just did my Bergel Panel and i was thinking of ordering a set of CAMARO vinyl overlays but i'm unsure of the color...the car is Pewter Metallic.

I was thinking about going with red inserts to match the red bowtie and the red overlays on the Z28 emblem. The guy i'm getting them from has a "bright gold metalic" color that might kinda match the Pewter. what do you guys think? any suggestions?

Get some stainless letters from muffinbuster on ebay. Or get some color matched urethane ones that are domed. they look much better than vinyl.

i got the uretheyne inserts from RKSport. i used to have the vinyl inserts and hated them cause they sank in and also just looked like cheapshit. the uretheyne ones bring the letters out to almost flush with the panel, here's a pic so you can photochop in on your car since i have red inserts

Default Domed letters

I like the domed urethane letters, and I bet if you look around you can get them in a color close to the color of your car.

i only gave my info on where i bought some uretheyne letters from and how they look, now if you have any input other than "there's alot more sites than RKsport" i'm sure the OP would be glad to hear it because your statement is very vague and isn't helpful to him IMO
