Does anyone know where I can get them? I found some here:
http://www.bobwhitedecals.com/Products/2005/05DSI.htm and the color(light blue) looks close but I want to make sure it is going to match before I order them.If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it!

I've purchased from that company in the past. Best I remember he was great to deal with. Give him a call. Again, best I remember he knows his stuff and should be able to advise how close the match is.
By the way, I have the same color car you do. I used black for my inserts. That matches my stripes and looks great. I actually thought the Windveil blue letters wouldn't look right and went with the black.

Why not just order touch-up paint from Ford and paint them yourself? I did mine. It's very, very easy. Just use a small brush and let the paint slowly fill-up the recessed letters. Even if you get a little on the outside of the letters, just wait til it dries. Then, use some paint thinner to clean-up.

That was actually my original plan but I was worried that it would be a pain in the butt.Let me get one thing straight though--paint thinner works the same way as nail polish remover correct?

I thought about doing that. Do the brush strokes show? Could someone who has done this post a photo? I want to think that brush marks would have to show but maybe I am wrong.

NO, the brush strokes do not show. I used a small model paint brush. I put just a little extra paint on the brush and went down the center of each area to be painted. I let the paint fill-in the area so I didn't really brush the paint on, if you know what I mean? The letters are deep enough so you can let the paint do the work, as it fills-in the recessed areas. Trust me, for a total of .98 cents, the mod is worth it. The red to match the leather interior is easy to find in model paint, not sure about your color. That's why I suggested to get some touch-up paint from Ford, for the WB color. But, you never know, check your local model shop if you have one. These guys carry lots of different colors.

I just came to ask for a picture of your letters and here they are! I'm going to have to track down some touch up paint.I remember a few months ago reading about a website where you could order touch up paint for WB and it came in either a bottle,a spray can, or a paint pen and I really wish that I had bookmarked the site because now I can't find the post it was in.Maybe I'll go search aroung some more and hopefully find it.



Nice car BTW! I am not a big fan of leather but that red is just gorgeous, especially with the silver.

Looks good. Ford has sent me touch-up paint free for the last few cars I bought. (Don't ask. I trade a lot, for Mustangs mostly.) I'm waiting for my free bottle before I go to Ford to order. Everytime I order I get a free one a few days after the one I pay for comes in.
