its really subtle regardless, but especially depending on the color. I don't especially like them but I'm not entirely opposed either. I think white lettering on a blue vette looks pretty good but in most cases its just redundant.

Personally I think without letters it looks a little cheap. I'm not sure I understand their logic. Of course you can tell it's a vette, it says so. But what's wrong with dressing it up.
I have a TR FRC, and I put halogen Red letters on mine. Very subtle until the sun/light hits and then it sparkles.

Don't even worry about what others think - it's your car so do as you like. I have brakelight red letters on mine and I like them a lot. I think it does set off the Corvette lettering on the rear.

Stick on letters that say, "BLACK CONVERTIBLE CORVETTE" That way anyone who follows really know what it is,....just incase they didn't.
JUST KIDDING!
Of course this is coming from a guy with red lettering CORVETTE on a white car.

Same as sfc rick, filled mine in with red letters. I think it looked OK without them, but I like the red between the tails. It helps set off an already distinguished look.

I have the chrome raised 3 dimensional rear letters made from 3M material by Vette Works International: http://www.vetteworksintl.com/3DC5rearletters.html They are made of a very high quality material and look and fit like they came with the car, not like an add on as some letters appear.
