Default "Corvette" windshield lettering

I know that this answer comes down mainly to personal opinion, but I'm curious what the rest of you think.

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.

I have one and I like it. You need to get one that fits the car not from ecklers. I have someone that can help you and you will love the fit. Pm me if you need a number.

I personally wouldn't put the sticker on the windshield. The C5 corvette is a good looking car and anyone who knows cars would know that it is a Corvette without needing big letters on the windshield.

Just my personal opinion, if that's what you want, go for it!

I appreciate the information, but I'm not sure I entirely grasp the suggestion that some windshields are larger than others. What exactly do you mean by "fit the car"?

Stickers of any kind will never touch my cars.

But it's a personal preference. Do what makes you happy.

Some vendors sell 'small' letters for C-O-R-V-E-T-T-E, I bleieve they are approximately 2 inches high, and do not really look all that good.

As 4deatr indicated there are other vendor letters that 'fit' the windshield much better, IMHO.

I have the windshield decal, but it comes with my car.

If I didn't have a pace car I wouldn't have a windshield decal on it.

Personally, I think it's borderline "rice-er-roni".

But as others have said, it's your ride! Dress it up the way that makes you happy.
