Side Marker S

I was going to replace the red side marker S's and discovered I liked it better without the red S's. I like how this looks, adding a little bit more chrome.

Has anyone else left their S's "naked?"

A white "S" would also look good on yours

I've got a few of the black raised 'S's from Aesthetic Creations if anyone wants 'em. They fit right over the red 'S's and are a cool little touch if you want to try something else.

I was going to use them on mine, but then opted for the JCW scuttles.

Cheers,
Tom

I'm not sure if/which event I'll make next, but you can see some examples here: 3d domed decals

Cheers,
Tom

The meeting is this Saturday and will be a great drive up to Estes, we will do the meeting there and then down to Loveland for drinks at Old Chicago. I have the Blue ones on mine, but were thinking about black on the red convertible.
Here is the link to the meeting thread http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...r-meeting.html

Hey Rich, pretty sure there is a difference in size for the domed "S" decal from R53 to R56 and I believe tcowden has an R56.

True, but it wouldn't hurt to look to see.

I'll be sure to bring them Saturday. I checked and I have 2 unused and 1 that's on an 'S' from the rear 'S' that was on my R56.

I've got a few other knick-knacks that I'll bring along too.

Cheers,
Tom
