Default Front Windshield "Corvette" Decal

I really would like some honest opinions from the forum and yes I already understand it's my car and I can do what I want.

I've seen a few but with that said, what do you think? yes/no/maybe

Think I'll have to agree. Everyone already knows its a Corvette. To me, it doesn't add anything to an already awesome looking vehicle. Sorry...

Anything a V6 Mustang owner would do to their car I would not consider doing to a Corvette.

Count me in for another "NO".

Funny, because I'm seeing more C6 models with the windshield sticker lately. Not sure why.

I do have a windshield decal on mine (says Milestone Editions as part of the package I have on the car), but I do not think I would want a decal that just says Corvette on the windshield.

It's because they're older and sometimes forget what type of car they're driving.

Not unless you are racing in the La Mans series and sponsored by Corvette

Fun is where you find it , so do what you do. I will state today that I am solidly pro fun, and all that "get off m lawn, don't touch my car" stuff attributed to me is just mudslinging from my legions of detractors.

My tastes run a little differently. If I were to put a banner across my front windshield it might say "Mustang, Peugeot, Yugo, Prius ," something like that.

I once had a Citroen sedan that had ford in small chrome letters across the lower trunk. It answered and asked a lot of silent questions from people who wondered what type of car it was. A small entertainment that I enjoyed once in a while.

If you can make your car better for you, that is a plus. I don't disregard others opinions, but people that drive vettes have a rep, and it ain't good. I would factor that in when considering style opinions on your ride.

You're right. People that drive vettes do have a rep and a big Corvette banner across the front doesn't help. I can understand why you would put a sticker on your older Citroen because people didn't know anything about the car. Nobody is asking that question when it comes to Corvettes.

At first I thought they were tacky, but I actually like the look of them.

I agree with Nosferatu333, it would look dumb on a stock car, but I think could look good on a modified car.

A small and discrete American flag is about the only sticker I would put on any car of mine.

Most folks already know that it's a Corvette and the last thing the car needs is that decal on it.
