I had a decal on the back window of my Tahoe for a while but that's a little much.

Come on, let's not be condescending. The guy's a GM fan, and a Corvette enthusiast. We were all there once before we could afford Vettes.

I wouldn't do it to my Camaro, but it doesn't seem that terrible to me.

I used to have corvette center caps on my ZR1 wheels with the C4 emblem on them. I thought it looked ok.

I guess I just feel, who really gives a crap what someone else does to their car? It just seems so insignificant in the whole scheme of things.
