Hey Everybody,
I have my white letters turned in on my beige 81 vette. What do you all like the best in or out? Thinking of turning them out. Just wanted to Post something.
Thanks

I have them out on the CE. mainly because I like the way it looks, and it mimicks the original equpitment, which was white outlined tires from the factory. Just my .02 |biggrin|

Vette(s):
SOLD - "The Toy" - '70 Convertible
SOLD - "The Beast" - '90 ZR-1 (#682)
SOLD - "Betty" - '28 Ford Model A Tudor
SOLD - "BLKBRRD" - '78 Pontiac Trans Am
"BLUBYU" - '04 Coupe
Never was much of a "blackwall" fan, but on some cars it does look ok. I prefer to have the white letters on display.

Vette(s): Re-acquired 1982 Bright Blue Vette from the guy a sold it to 13 years ago. 1993 40th Anniv. Ruby Convertible- purchased for my wifes 40th birthday-It has Chromed Grand Sport Wheels, Grand Sport Flares and a functional rollbar.
On a Shark...definitely out! |thumb| |wavey|

The way God meant it to be |biggrin|

I've wondered what the Ruby would look like with RWL tires but they're probably not even made for C4's.

Hey Frank! I have the white letters out on my '81. I think that the contrast of white letters showing on a Shark looks "killer"!

Vette(s): 1979 Black coupe. 11256 original, documented, miles on it when I bought it in April of 2000. It now has 13100 on it. Oyster interior, like new. Everything original, everything works, except the clock. Paint has a couple of minor flaws.
