Default Damnit!! Where can I get an "R"??
I noticed this today. The picture says it all. Does anybody have one of these that they maybe removed and don't need?

Is it possible to buy these letters individually? If not, where can the kits be purchased?

I'd be happy to take them off your hands if you manage to not destroy them. Please let me know!

Any of the major aftermarket parts vendors would have letter sets - doubtful that they have any individual letters but you can ask.

Try using a heat gun on the letters to soften the glue a little. Be careful not to hot on the body.

Are those the acrylic or SS letters? Make sure that yours are the correct material before going through the trouble of sourcing a replacement. Good luck with the fix.

If those are not raised stainless steel now would be a good excuse get a new set.

I think they look good especially now that I have added chrome rims.

Along with some heat, try using some dental floss. This should keep you from distorting the letters and keep the car safe from scratches.
