[Frame & Body] should I "pimp" my ride? - DMCTalk.com forums

John U · 01-22-2010, 11:44 AM

I love the look of the stainless lettering on the rear bumper, but I am trying to keep the car as stock as possible (aside from upgrades such as stainless bottle, new relays, fuel pump etc...)
Should I go for the lettering? Where is the best place to order them from?

I know...stainless lettering is not exactly alot of bling....

Do what you like, don't let others persuade to to do it their way.
If you like the look put it on.
I like the look of the stainless DMC on the door sill, but I want to keep it stock more, so I leave it.
I hear P J Grady has the DeLorean stainless insert.

SOMETIMES I think we should stick to persuasion...

If youre worried about stock, I have a factory brochure that has the negative stainless trim over the bumper letters. I bet that would have been a factory accessory. I just put my letters on (as well as door sill letters) and it really looks good. I did it becasue I wanted it, and I didn't have to ask opinions to realize that I wanted it.

The letter inserts are hardly "pimpin". Alot of cars now have them now. A casual onlooker might think they are stock....

I bought Grady's and love them. High quality, looks great and by far the easiest install ever..

I am VERY big on originality, but I have the bumper letters and sill letters. They look like something that should have been included from the beginning (especially the bumper). To me, there is a big difference between doing something like that and an obviously custom addition/modification.

I am very proud to call 1905 a 98% original "survivor", but with a modern radio, lowered front, and the usual reliability upgrades it will never be a concourse car. With that in mind, the stainless letters were a no-brainer.
