I know they're superior to decals but can they be removed without damage and re-installed for paintwork, scratches, etc...? Also can you buy separate letters individually in the event of loss? Thanks!

The letters are about 18 gauge mirror polished stainless steel. They go on with a 3M adhesive backing. The instructions make it very clear to test fit first 'cause once they are stuck, they are not coming off without bending or distorting them is some fashion.Originally Posted by silver2004Marauder
Have not heard about getting individual letters ... might be worth asking at http://www.ssinserts.com ... but I haven't seen anything ever written about it here. Mine are stuck on but good and have been for the past 28 months. No loss problem for me.

Once they're on, they're on. I wouldn't worry about loosing a letter.
If you need body work the $60 for a new set will probably be the least of your worries. I'm on my second rear fascia and second set of inserts. At least the lady's insurance didn't fight me on the $60.

Bradley@Dynopros had a letter come off and a single letter was sent by SS Inserts. I do not know if it cost him anything or not, but you can send him a message. Mine have been on for a long time with no problems.
Like what has been said already, I had two sets both replaced when my car was rear ended. Insurance replaced them both times. But I'm holding off putting them back on since I feel like my MM is a car magnet with the inserts installed.
Bill, Stainless is non-magnetic. You just have to stop letting FOF ram you in the butt. That is a plan recommended by the AMA. Dennis LOL
GOD bless my friends, Paula, Cheese(Rex) and Alex and all those still with us.

I was thinking about getting inserts, but don't really want to bring attention to my car. Around here it's one of a kind!!! Seen on news the MM is top 10 of stolen cars... because they were limited additions...what do ya'all think???
IMHO... If someone wants to steal your MM they will do it regardless of the inserts. They may do it for the wheels.

If you have TC and same size tires on all four corners the thief couldn't outrun a Yugo unless he knows to turn the TC "OFF"!!!! Top speed about 50 MPH going straight and 20 MPH around corners!!!

I had to pull the SS inserts to have the bumper cover repainted. I tried removing them with fishing line but I just didn't have much luck (or patience) to get behind every nook and cranny. Those inserts fill up the recesses pretty good.Originally Posted by silver2004Marauder
I wound up using the fishing line to free up each letter as much as I could and then a small flat head screwdriver to pry one side of a letter up. After that it was pretty easy to get them off by hand but I couldn't manage to keep them from bending. Using a towel to back up the screwdriver worked well to keep from scratching the paint. Once the remaining tape was exposed I rubbed it off with my thumb.
Overall it was a fairly painless demodding process with no damage to the paint.

I had my bumper repainted a few months ago....they did it with the inserts in...painter took the time to tape the letters up...bumper looked great when they were done painting it.
This is a lie....Originally Posted by Judith Garner
Because our cars are so few, the crappy calculations used, put us into the top ten percent.
If 10 Marauders get stolen in a year, it will put us into the top ten percent.
The people who stole the 10 Marauders probably didn't even think
they were stealing anything more than a CV or GM anyway, being that
no NORMAL person even knows what the hell a Marauder is...

Good to know. Neither guy wanted to touch mine with the inserts in, they said taping them off might leave thin paint lines that could come back to haunt me, so I dug them out per their advice. Now the question is do I go for set #3?Originally Posted by whoskal

If you dont mind me asking..
What did you pay for the bumper repaint and how did it come out.
My bumper has a 2 foot long scratch over the embossed letters and
I want to paint it before I put in SS inserts.
