I order the bumper letter inserts on EBay and it was the peel n sticker kind...Are there better quality around(stainless steel)? Or is the sticker kind is what everyone uses?

I went with this company. Excellent craftsmanship and good quality.
Cost some $ but they are built to last.

The stainless steel ones are the way to go! Easier to put in and look much, MUCH better.

+1 on the SS inserts. Mine have been on the MM since April 2004.
I have a set of brand new gold SS inserts if your interested. You can not buy them anywhere, any more.

In the sunlight, the letters in Marauder are reflected on the ground. Looks great!

Here's another picture. It's really difficult to give the titanium inserts justice via pictures... they look just like the SS but in person you can tell. I think the flash of the camera diffuses the "blackness"

There was a thread a while back that someone wanted to do this but I think it involved cutting into the rear bumper cover. Forget who posted it but I don't think he went through with it. Either too much work and/or too much grief from us discouraging him from mucking up his bumper

I know about the reflective ones, but i was thinking of a actual glow, i know they make glowing vinyl stickers, and even paint, however i would rather have inserts because i think paint could get messy and too many coats on a black background to get acheived results. My quest continues...

This is the company that makes the rear bumper letters glow.

I just submitted a request for a price on doing the MM rear bumper.

Yeah that was me and I was going to use a CV bumper instead of the Marauder one for OBVIOUS reasons...:rolleyes:...that project is on hold becuase I can't find a decent rear bumper in any of the yards...but I thought it would be really cool too...

I was thinking of getting a pattern tracing it on the CV bumper then dremiling it out and clean it up. Get some used red taillight for difusion then back light the whole thing...sounds simple...:shake:

Wow very festive. Perfect for the holiday season. :beer:
And free to boot.
The only problem with the SS inserts is:
When light hits them from certain angles, some letters are visible and others are not.
I use the Chrome Vinyl Bob White Decals.
