I'm considering putting the big "Corvette" sticker on the top of my windshield. Do you think that's a little overkill? Arrogant? Unneeded? Where would I obtain such a sticker?

Thanks.

Yes, I am in minority here...I've had numerous letterings put on my coupe. Two styles of CORVETTE...one block letters and one the more "pointy" font found in Eklers. Currently I have "Dragon's Breath" on my windshield.

But this is coming from someone with the wild pace car.

And the red CE stripes on the coupe.

That had a red speed lingerie bra on the black coupe for a while...

So what do I know!

Wouldn't put one on my car, but if you like the look, then go for it. As you said, its all a matter of personal preference and all you have to please is yourself.

Slippery slope. First the windsheid decal, then the "Type R" and "VTEC" stickers. That's how it all starts...

Before long, you'll have the neon lights under your rocker panels, fake rear duct scoops and the ironing board rear-deck spoiler...

Corvette's are too classy to put the windshield decal on imo.

Like others have said, if you like it then go for it.
