I have been tinkering with little things this winter on the GT's and this is an easy touch that some who have bought the inserts may want to do and this is only a half hour project. The pictures aren't the best but you get the idea. Let me know your thoughts:cheers

Would look VERY much better in RED.
 
Like it!

For some reason Frank I thought you might say that!:lol
 
Just what these seats need.....I actually like the black inset to compliment the color of the seats....yellow is fine but red might offer too much contrast......
 
For those of us with not so steady hands, any recommendation on how to apply the paint????

It's real simple: I went to the local hardware store and purchased paint pens from Krylon. Take the paint pen and fill the groves, take a small type of Q-tip and wipe the bulk of paint from around the letters but no need to get all of the paint off just the bulk, let the paint dry completely, take a paper towel and dab a little bit of denatured alcohol or paint thinner and rub gently in the flat areas removing the smugged paint. That's it your done!:thumbsup I also did this to my shifter ball as well.:cheers
 
Here are a couple of pics of the shifter ball.
