Default C7 Garage Wall Art?

I'd like to find some art for the walls in my newly renovated garage. I'm finding it difficult to find what I am seeking.

I'm looking for the crossed flags in a very large size for the wall in front of my car, but so far have only found this: http://www.fathead.com/automotive/ge...al/?src=search

It's not as large as I'd like and seems very overpriced.

Then I'd like to get either or both "Corvette" or "Stingray" in the C7 font, also in a very large size for the side wall next to my car.

Those are what I'd optimally like, but I'm open to any suggestions.

Thank you!!

Look on Amazon for: Fathead Wall Decal, Real Big, "GM Corvette Flags Logo"

I have that set and it is pretty good. The crossed flag is big enough for me and the other logos are a nice touch to tuck into other spots. I thought this was reasonably priced for what you get.

The Corvette Museum also sells the Fathead decals. Might check with them to see if they have what you are looking for.

You could also try a local sign shop and see if they can duplicate the Stingray script in the size you want.

Thank you. I didn't realize it included all of those other decals. Do you have any photos of them on the wall, especially the larger flags?

Great suggestion, thank you. Heading to a local sign shop now.

Less than three weeks ago, everything on the Fathead site was 50% off. Keep an eye out for sales.

I don't know what your budget is, but they have some cool metal signs there.

That would be the same position I would put it, in front of the car. Is that wall textured? Mine is not but it is freshly painted in semi gloss. How well is it holding on to that wall?

Not a textured wall, fresh paint (a couple of days before applying) It is almost like a post-it and can be re applied in case a mistake is made. I used a laser level and had an assistant as a second set of hands will be needed. I'm really happy with the results and as also indicated several other decals are included on the same sheet. Should be no problem staying on the wall as mine is not going anywhere.

Yes, all four are the metal ones. The stingray emblem is the medium size (36") and the other three (C7 emblem and both scripts) are the large size (50").

Thank you!!

Another place to look is Corvettecollection.com . It looks like the same metal ones as NCM has. Don't know which one is less expensive. Their phone # is 800.653.1375. Call them and they will send you a catalog of all Corvette stuff.
