Should I or Shouldn't I

[hungary00]

Hi everybody, help me to decide. Should I put the Cobra lettering on my back bumper of my car or, I should stay low key. What do you think what color should I use if I decide to do it? My car is black.

I prefer the low key look myself.

I removed the black lettering from the rear bumper of my white cobra. I think the bumper letters are played out...I really hate the chrome ones people use...

Just my $0.02

i like both with or without...i have the stainless steel inserts i love them...they would look bomb on your car with the deep dish wheels and exhaust tips. but either way it looks good low key to

I agree with Stolen 98, keep it naked.

On black cars I like them to have no "cobra" inserts, the "SVT" trunk badge lets you know its not a gt.

But if you really feel the need for the "cobra" to stand out, I would personally have the letters outlined in a charcoal color or do the entire thing in dark gray/charcoal. Keep it low key.

I have removed the lettering from 2 '97 cobras, so that tells u my vote lol. It's not so much that they look bad, it's just that it has a cleaner appearance when left alone.

If all the cars came stock with chrome or black lettering, I have a feeling "custom painted to match" letters would be all the rage!

Btw op that car looks very clean, and always reminds me how my tint needs to be redone, but damn yours looks dark!

The front bumper cover and hood tell everyone it's not a GT. Me, I could care less what people think it is, a GT, v6, could care less...then again I'm old.

Chrome or Stainless steel letters are the only ones that look good. Chrome looks the absolute best on black, and it will match the chrome lip of your wheels. It would still be low key with the stainless steel letters. It reflects the black, and still looks dark in certain angles with Chrome/stainless.

It would be a small tasteful mod. Blacking out the entire car would be highschoolish.

Chrome letter are high schoolish

I have black bumper letter inserts, on my white cobra. With your car being black, I would say red, I think it would look pretty wicked!

 

[Sn8kebitten]

I would say the chrome would accent the wheels and exhaust. That's why I did it lol

 

[J.Rovirosa]

I went with matte black letters and decal for the lower part of the rear bumper; stands out *just* enough.

 

[spray'n mach 1]

I hate the inserts myself, good luck with whatever you decide..

Ok thanks all for the input, now how about black chrome? Would that be to crazy?

True, but then again how many V6/gt's out there don't have cobra bumpers/hoods.

Chrome bumper letters... Next stop chrome snake door lock knobs and chrome snake valve stems lol to me it's all the same as having "COBRA" emblazoned across the windshield ....again just my $.02

 

[hungary00]

Thanks everybody, I am staying low key.

 

[Mr.Bolt-on]

Chrome or Stainless Steel would still be low key. It looks great on black. Not so much on other colors though.
