You need to get the C5 Jake and take it to a place that can cut them out for you. You can PM me for it if you like. 
No one is allowed to sell the C5 Jake because GM put a stop to it. Badboyvettes only sells the C6 Jake.

now im not bashing the Jake skull at all and i love it.... but when we "C5 Owners" run this skull, isnt it like a C4 owner using C5 flags on their car? just seems off to me
But to each their own.

It was posted sometime last year. One of our forum vendors was going to give anyone on here some C5 Jake skulls if they made a donation to St. Judes and GM wrote them a letter and put a stop to it. Apparently the C5 Jake is covered under the C6 Jake copyright or trademark.

This is their story.
We were at Le Mans in 2004 and we met the Corvette Racing team. We noticed that the team had unofficially embraced skull icons as a symbol of the take-no-prisoners mentality of those intense 24 hours. "TAKE NO PRISONERS" was actually scrawled on the wall of the Corvette pit.
We thought that the team should have its very own skull icon and we sketched our idea over beers on a cocktail napkin.
The C6.R "Mascot" made its debut on C6.R's b pillars the next year at the 2005 Le Mans race. They've been on the C6.R's ever since. What can we say except that we're extremely happy & proud to have our design on the coolest racecars in the world.

It's not like having a C6 is any closer to driving (or owning) a Pratt Miller C6R race car.
Of course, this is just my opinion. I have shirts, hats, decals, posters. For me, its like running an American flag, not trying to be a "wannabe" C6 owner. I made my choice clearly for 2 C5's over the last 5 years.
