Lowercase, Big Personality: Style 7 Large Lower Case Chrome Letters
Capital letters shout. Lowercase letters chat. If you've ever looked at a row of all-caps lettering and thought it felt a little like being yelled at by your tailgate, lowercase chrome letters are your calmer, friendlier option.
The Style 7 large lower case set gives you rounded, easygoing a to z chrome letters at 2.2 inches tall, the kind of lettering that makes a name look relaxed and confident at the same time.
Why go lowercase?
- It feels personal. "nana's ride" in lowercase reads like a wink. "NANA'S RIDE" reads like a warning.
- It looks modern. Plenty of today's logos use lowercase lettering, so it fits right in on a newer vehicle or a sleek shop sign.
- It mixes well. Pair a capital from the matching Style 3 large block set with lowercase letters and you get a proper name, like "Rosie" or "Bear."
The specifics
- 2.2 inches tall. That's readable from a few car lengths back.
- Triple-plated chrome over injection-molded ABS plastic. It's automotive grade with a mirror-bright finish.
- Adhesive backing. Peel and stick on any smooth, hard surface, indoors or outdoors.
- Sold individually. You pick each letter from the drop-down menu, so you only pay for the letters you need. A five-letter name is five letters.
Fun places for lowercase letters
- A nickname on the trunk lid in place of a dealership badge.
- A boat, camper or golf cart name, because "sea la vie" deserves to be seen.
- A front desk, workshop door or toolbox, for a friendly label that still shines.
- A kid's bedroom door, spelled out in chrome.
Plan it before you order
Write your word out, count every letter (repeats included, so "anna" is four letters with two a's and two n's) and measure your space. Lowercase letters have different heights, since letters like "b" and "g" reach up or down, so lay the word out on paper at full size first. Leave about a finger's width between letters, and keep longer words to a nice flat panel.
Getting it straight
- Clean the surface with soap and water, then rubbing alcohol.
- Run a strip of painter's tape as a baseline. Line up the bottoms of the round letters, not the tails of letters like g, p or y.
- Arrange the letters on the tape with their backing still on, then step back and adjust.
- Start from the middle letter and work outward, pressing each one firmly for about 30 seconds.
- Remove the tape and give it a day before the car wash.
Good timing
A name in chrome makes a thoughtful holiday gift for a new driver, a proud grandparent or a fresh boat owner. These letters ship the next business day, and standard shipping is free on U.S. orders over $55, so a longer name or a matching set for a second vehicle adds up quickly toward free shipping. Order early if you're giving it as a gift so you have time to plan the layout.
