The "COBRA" in the rear bumper. Where is the best place to get a nice quality insert? Who has a lot of options? Thanks guys
Got my SS inserts from American Muscle....
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.

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: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.
Here's a link to his page...

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
Call me a ricer but I'd love to see/have a set of these in real carbon fiber.
