What letters did you get? The 1" racing font?

I used carbon fiber wrap material from my friend’s shop. The front stayed on all summer, but the back one seemed to dry up or something and started lifting, so I pulled it off.

The Chevy badges have that checkered texture and it’s pretty difficult to get good adhesion. I cleaned mine with a bit of thinner and then alcohol. It took a few attempts to get the edges tucked in a very slight channel that they have around the edges.

After that fail, I’ve given up on the vinyl method and am asking Santa to bring me the GM carbon fiber badges...

Looks awesome. You did all what I was planning to do except the white lettering.

Looks pretty good. Personally, I've had better luck with tire stickers for my ride. Love the tire lettering look though!

Same for me.... I think it looks very well done. It has a bit of all the color scheme on his car, and I think that is what really makes it look good.

You have a very sweet ride, and it's probably one of the two or three best looking Fifty models I've seen. I'm not a fan of that model, so when I say it looks good, it's a big compliment in my books.

I had every intent to post a snarky comment hating on the tire letters and stripe on the wheels... but... I kept scrolling through the pictures and it really does work. Good for you for doing something different!

The lettering is either loved or hated. I for one love it. I had them on my factory tires, but the tire dressing i used made the lettering all brown. I've since sold those tires and factory rims and won't put them back on cuz i couldn't keep them white. Not sure what your trick is but l love the look!

I like the look as well, I've tossed the idea around, but I haven't pulled the trigger. I don't use tire "shine", I would say I could keep them fairly clean for awhile. I just use Adam's tire and rubber cleaner. When you pay lots of cash for really good tires, I have a hard time covering them up with "stickers".
