I think it would look better if the rear brake vents were not on the car or if maybe it was just a stripe and didn't say "Corvette" But ultimately its your ride and there is nothing wrong with being different.

Yeah, nothing funnier than someone who feels the need to put graphics on a car that state what model the car is. Do we really need big, bold white letters on a windshield telling us you drive a "CAMARO" ?

Seems to me if YOU had enough time on your hands to respond... You need to practice what you preach...

Who is this for? Ilegal Aliens from Area 53?
Better get a windshield banner just in case.

Every car guy will know.
For the rest of the unwashed masses you can say when asked.., yes ' It's an 'El Fonzo De Cradenzza SS'

Hey Mell, take a picture/s of you car and put it on your computer and play adding lines on it that way you get a better perspective. I had done it many times but so far haven't come up with any I like, that saves you money and time.

In the end it's your vette so do what pleased you and forget about the critics !!!!

Everyone has different ideas. We would not like to see every Corvette exactly identical.

Straight lines don't look right on these cars.

You need black rims and a spoiler yet.

The stripes? I've seen worse in this forum. To each his own.
