This is an easy installation that requires no tools at all. The letters are precut and come with a peel-and-stick backing that's easy to apply after a little surface prep and cleaning. Once you're satisfied with their positioning, just press on them a little harder to bond securely. The C6 letters also fit perfectly on the passenger-side dash, too.

Since the rear of your Corvette is the view most other drivers will probably see, you'll have a little something shiny for them to look at as you go zipping past them. |
