No. I haven't.... Why not? Because I haven't seen one...

But it depends on who you ask... Ryce Guy says,



I thnk the question should be...

Are fake mods like rear brake scoops, fake Z06 badges, etc. considered "stickers"? If so, yes I have... and no I wouldn't... but I don't pay for anyone else's car ...

I think there is a sensor under the rear facia that makes it fall off if anything is stuck to it.

I cringe when i see dealer stickers on the back of corvettes. It dumbfounds me in two ways... one, that a dealer would have the gall to deface the flagship Chevy in that manner, and two, that the owner would drive around with it on there.

Just not right for a Vette to have one. I wouldn't have them on my other cars/trucks either.

Hi jan-db -

Most vette owners have more pride in their cars than would allow for a witty or political bumper sticker.

Save em for the pick-up.

Just my opinion.

best regards -

A Corvette is not the place for a bumper sticker!

Never seen a Vette w/sticker but I did see a Mercedes SL with both a Gore and a Kerry bumper sticker! Talk about being a double loser who can't get over things.

I'd personally never put ANYTHING political anywhere near me as I truely hate all politicians.

The only bumper sticker I've seen on a vette is the one on the red C5 in the XXX movie..
