Got my SS inserts from American Muscle....
Most people do the SS inserts and have had great luck with them. I had them for a few months and didn't. Cut my finger washing the car and bent one so the set was trashed. Tried the really thin ones on my Mystic and that was a mistake. Not sure if they sell the 3D domed ones anymore but I went that route and they look great still after 5 years. -Shane
Thanks guys. I have the 3d cArbon fiver looking ones and they have been on there for 7 years. There just starting to show a little wear. I really like the black chrome ones I just saw on American Muscles site.

Love the tags by the way. Ha
that looks great too!
SS inserts here as well, I HIGHLY recommend sanding down the edges as they like to snag on towels and such. A little smoothing will go a long way.
When putting them on clean the area with alcohol etc and use painters tape to line up the letters then lift up pull backing and ease down. Once down they do NOT come up, one shot is all you get. I had to replace an R....

I have the stainless inserts as well. But for me they were to much shine.... so I toned em down a bit to look burnished and not so chrome like.

Looks really good. What was the process?
Scott Winger used to be the only name thrown around and what I have on my car now. I tried the cheaper ones only to have them start coming off. These are probably the most expensive but you don't have to worry about them ever coming off.

600 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Run the sandpaper straight across the letter. Left to right or right to left, that doesn't matter. I started at the top of the letter and worked my way down. Once I was satisfied that the letter looked right and uniform I went on to the next one and did the same thing on all of them. Had to work some more than others to get them to all look the same. After finishing all the letters they will look a little dull so I brought back a little shine with mothers aluminum polish. Haven't touched them since, been caught in the rain a couple times and after washing the car they still looked the same as the day I did them. :beer:
Definitely spend the money and get the Stainless inserts over the horribly flat stickers. Iv had my black chrome ss inserts on my dd for almost 3 years and no wear on the quality of the letters, and they have never come off or even budged since i put them on. I like the black chrome over the regular stainless because they aren't as bright/flashy.
Thanks, might try this.
Anyone have more pics of the black chrome style, but on a Redfire?
Yup once they touch the paint its DONE so be SURE you put them down correctly.
I must be the only person you doesn't like the SS steel inserts not even a little bit. I have satin black ones from Ebay
You're not alone! I prefer the black decals. Maybe if the metal ones were more flush and the edges were beveled they would be nicer.
Call me a ricer but I'd love to see/have a set of these in real carbon fiber.

Was just thinking the same thing. I'd buy a set if someone made them.
