I've had both.

Initially went with the decals, now have the SS inserts.

There is NO comparison, SS inserts FTW.

Warm temperature is a must.

Clean the area, then clean it again. If you think it's clean, clean it one more time.

Proper surface preparation is a must!

^^^^^^ what he said ^^^^^^^

I used an old tooth brush to get down into the embossed lettering and get the corners and radii well cleaned.

Yeppers! I used a Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol to clean the area on a warm, dry day.

Make sure you have a steady hand when applying!

Not one issue after all these years.

Where did you get titanium black? I've only found SS; I want my inserts to be black since I have a SB.

I got them from here,

http://www.actionautoaccessories.com/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=86&products_id=24

but i don't see the "titanium black" option anymore, not sure why.

Yeah, I think they sold out of the original stock and haven't made any more.

I see the notation "276 Units in Stock" for the SS inserts has changed from when I bought mine (IIRC, the number then was in the high 280's). My guess is, when these are gone, they're gone; so anybody interested should buy while they can.

[kernie]

OK, the install went well, some pics

Ok guys. I have chrome looking ones. Isn't there a finish where they are black but when a light reflects on them they shine then?

I think that would be the titanium black ones.

[napolitano]

From ssinsert or bobs?

[ctrlraven]

I went with bobwhitedecals.com and got the Red Ruby Reflective ones.

The main reason I went with BWD is my bumper had a tag bolt hole in it from some azzhat putting up too close to it so I didn't want to get SSinserts then turn around and have to remove them because of the bumper repair. My BWD's have had up pretty good over the past 3-4 years.

I've also been thinking about doing an illiminated pleixglass panel behind it with some red leds and wire it into the brake and turn signal system.

[napolitano]

We are working on something like that as we speak birdman. Hopefully it will be done by the SSM meet.

Interesting, they look just like the regular SS Inserts in those ^^^^^ pics. Maybe it is just the pic. They look darker in the pic that you posted a couple \/\/\/\/\/\/ posts down.

I've read a couple other posters in older threads who got the titanium black's saying they expected much darker, probably not worth the extra dollars.

I like the subtle variance in them.

[MOTOWN]

I like the subtle pimp factor in them.

fixed it for ya;)

[napolitano]

nice kernie. I saw also where they the titanium black is not available right now. I looked on bobsdecal.com and they have reflective black, is that the same or are those not stainless underneath.

I believe SS inserts are the only metal inserts, i'm impressed with these, can't speak for the non-metal ones.

I had a feeling about that's what it was. I had the idea a few years ago but got married and everything went down hill. My divorce will be finalized next Monday so I'm getting back around to modding. :banana:

I called the company that makes the SS inserts a couple weeks ago and they are sold out of the black titanium. When I saw several posters saying they had them, I was hoping there was another place to buy them, but I see that everyone bought from the same company. The guy I talked to said something about 'powder coating' them if I wanted a different color. I reeeaaaallllyyy wanted to get the black titaniums because I love the fact that they change color with light conditions. It looks like I'll have to get the SS inserts and figure out how to make them black (since I have a SB). Another thing I've been thinking about is, since there are 8 letters in Marauder and 4 diff colors, maybe have two letters of each color. (2 SBs, 2 DTRs, 2 Blues, 2 Blacks) and arrange them in some sort of pattern. My way of giving props to ALL MM owners out there! At any rate, guess I need to buy some SS's soon before they are gone and I've got nothing...

Have you ever seen the regular SS Inserts on a Silver Birch?? If not, I suggest that you find one (at one of the MM events) and take a look. Personally, I think that the contrast between the mirror finish on the inserts and the SB paint looks great. You'll have to decide for yourself; but I suggest that you check it out "in person" 'cause pics don't necessarily convey the effect as well. JMHO.
