Yes but if you have a C5 the ones by Mike (vettestripes.com) are more appropriate & look great

Question...

I'm under the impression "Jake Skull" decals are usually worn by Z06's?
Just looking for clarification.

Usually worn on C6R's, I don't believe they were around even at the end of the C5R's reign. Never a factory decal on Z06, although it appears the 2009 ZR1 will have an embossed or raised "Jake Skull" on the air intake system

I believe the Jake Skull decals are officially worn by C5R & C6R race cars, and are not exclusive to the Z06's...

OK guys thanks, I've seen them on Corvette's, but it's always been Z06's. Thanks for the clarification......

You guys might enjoy looking at these, probably seen them before, but always nice to look again....

This one did not come from Mike, but the ones he was making for charitable contributions for St. Judes looked like this. Notice the crossed flag sticks of the C5 compared to the joined flags of the C6. I think GM stepped in and "encouraged" Mike to halt production
