Anyone know if it is ok for a private team to use the skull ?

I have a blackcar and would love to use the skull on my car

as long as you buy it from Bad Boyz Vette

It is a trademark now so if you use it the maker would have to have a licensing agreement with GM. Doubt they will go after a private user on a personal car at a track event or street driven car. The guy here wh copied the C5R and C6R have to get permission. I know that is more extreme than a skull on your car.

I don't know if you have Fair Use laws in Norway, but if any car manufacturer wants to make a habit of FANS using their logos and likenesses, then they don't really want fans at all. I'm not sure Fair Use would hold up in this case anyway, but if you aren't using it for financial gain, and you obviously aren't trying to trick anyone into think YOU are the factory team, then I'd just do it.

There are Jakes on just about every Corvette I see at the track these days (and on the road)

In my business which is very image driven, stickers are a marketing cost not a revenue source. I would happy if everybody made their own instead of getting them from me When I saw your name Rune I thought for a second My friend Rune Glifburg had made switch to the dark side and started running a z06 instead of m3s but he lives in Denmark.

You did mean "he saw the light and switched to a better car"

I have alot of car friends that loves BMW, and a few years ago, they thought it could only do 1/4 mile and stoplight racing.
Not anymore

Going to Nurburgring this year to try and take record back from Viper ACR
