Default Windshield Decals " CORVETTE "

I have been looking for a windshield decal that says CORVETTE in the Corvette script, for Quite a while now. They come in various colors and cover the entire width of the windshield. Does anybody know where I can purchase one of these? I found some on ebay but the letters are to small, only 2-1/2" high..I am looking for letters 4" to 5" high that will cover the entire width of the windshield. Where can I purchase this decal? Thanks

Why, in case people can't figure out what kind of car it is?

There is a reason you can't find your decal... No profit in it..They would only sell one

Any place that can cut vinyl for advertising signs can make any script in any size you like with their equipment. Should cost about $10.00 for 2 1/2 " sizes. Our club had them made in the colors of our cars with our club name. Since this is exterior material, it works well on front or rear glass.

Your choice of course and I know some CF members run with them, but I personnally don't like them and think it "chesses" the car a bit. Thats me though and as the CF Chant goes: "Its your car so do what your want."

I tried one from the internet with the C5 font. It was "okay" but when delivered it did not come "curved" to the shape of the windshield. Leaving it straight as applied didn't look so good to me.

I also used one from Mid-America that used a different font. I liked it, but the lettering areas came to a point because of the font and so it was easier for it to start peeling off.

I like windshield decals and realize I am in the minority. So I went with a completely different design. I now use the logo of Dragons Breath Performance.

Don't let other's opinions cloud your thinking -- if you want a decal, go for it. Wheather it's a loud and obnoxious exhaust, a windshield banner that says "Corvette", 19" bling-bling chrome wheels or a plain and "boring" 100% stock c5, we're all enthusiasts.

personally i wouldn't do it - but..... you can probably go to your local shopping mall if they have kiosks - they can probably make one for you.

here in AZ we have the Arizona Mills Mall and they have a vinyl cutting kiosk in there that cuts anything from pictures to letters - all you have to do is pick it from a book or supply them with a picture for a template

I think they give you a free V-tech sticker for the rear when you buy one

I'd like to get one for my 4 wheel drive Dodge truck, maybe it'll help it handle like my Z06...

The only way I'd put a decal on the glass, is if it said "Lingenfelter".

I was sort of interested in this as well. I found decals on ebay for $10 and then this one is like $40 which seemed really expensive. So could it be that it's more expensive because it's curved or something?

Wow, so much love in this thread It seems a lot of people have opinions on how you should take care of your car. Make sure you PM all of them your address so they can make some payments for you too. The only place other than ebay I've ever seen them is at PFYC as provided by Cscokd. The right decal on the right color can look good in my opinion. Good luck with your decision.
