Mainly wanted to post a quality photo or two of these letters, bacause when I was shopping, none of the places that sell these things have any photos of them installed on a Vette for you to see what they look like.
I really really like the result with these - they are a genuine GM part. Domed means that they are not flat - they stand up from the surface, almost a semi-circle if viewed from the side. The color was perfect (torch red in this case).
Yes I know I didn't get a perfect installation, but when you use 3M adhesive primer first, you only get one chance to lay them down - they are set pretty much instantly so no real chance to adjust.
Just in case anyone wanted to see a pic. I've only had them on for 3 days, will have to update you if any problems. But wow, if you follow the instructions and use
they set down really hard - definitely seem permanent to me.
I bought them from RPI Designs. Unfortunately had a very bad experience with that purchase, so I do not recommend them at all.
Instead, there are LOTS of other folks who sell the identical GM product - all for about $40 I believe.
Uh, no, they are an official GM licensed product but not made or sold by GM. No different than a company getting a license to make a Corvette hat or mug.
Looks great! I've been thinking about doing the same some day along with painting the instrument bezel rings to match. I have a '12 Centennial Edition GS with ebony interior w/ red stitching, is Torch Red or Victory Red the match? I was thinking Victory Red.
Funny story...One of my club friends had one of his domed letters which would not stay on. He didn't want to glue it to the dash so he used pancake syrup. Said it was sticky enough to hold the letter but would dissolve in hot water if he removed the letters.
This is mine, had the same problem with RPI, letters would not stick to the dash. Reorder from a different vendor, reclean the dash with alcohol & the 3M adhesive work fine. I also did the rear bumper.

mine is an 05 Victory red exterior. but I chose to do all the interior add ons in torch red. I believe the center console in my photo is an accurate representation of torch red which you can compare with these letters. I prefer the brighter look of torch red.
either will look great with the sinister look of carbon flash metallic.
but definitely get letters that are labeled as domed, not just flat stick-ons. You'll be happy.

yup, you are exactly correct. my mistake. threw away the wrapper, just recall that they had the official GM loco on it.
