Default My vette got Jaked...

I had a sticker of the C5 jake skull made and stuck it on last night. I started to put it on the rear 1/4 just above the brake vent, but my wife told me I was ghey for putting it on the outside of the car:o !! So i stuck it under the hood for everyone to see!!
I also was tired of looking at my pretty purple ZEX bottle, so some satin black paint and 15 bucks to the local airbrushing guy at the mall took care of that.


My camera battery was dying so this pic of the skull is not that crisp for some reason, but the airbrushing is great on it!!

It actually came to me last minute. I got the sticker made, and I pulled my bottle out to have it filled, and though...hmmmm? Not bad for 15 bucks, nice and simple!!

I love my Jakes on the outside of my car. Most people don't even notice it but that's because they are black stickers on my black car.





That was a good idea though under the hood. And the bottle looks great.

Dude, you are really a hater!! Were you molested by someone with a Jake skull tat or something???

To each is own, I see stuff on here all the time I don't like, I keep it to myself though. All our cars are about personalization, I just happen to like the origin of the Jake and C5/C6R racing and I think the sticker looks pretty cool!!
