I understand what you're trying to accomplish - and I love the patriotic theme, but I think you went a little overboard with the stickers and tape. But then again it's really not what I think that counts, but you did ask for opinions.

The blue rotors, The stickers on the windows, The stripe on the hood and fenders,The stars on the side,Some kind of sticker on the rear above the Corvette, The mirror thing on the mirror, To me your car looks like it is ready for a Parade for Veterns of wars.
Sorry, I think it is just a bit over the top, But it is your car and you do as you wish.

My thought is that it mostly looks like it wants to be a race car, but the mud flaps and classy chrome wheels suggest luxury car -- and that gives it a conflicted personality. I say put some Z06 wheels or black motorsports wheels on there and it will look a lot more aggressive and bad-azz.
Oh, and nice score on the MD plate.
Here's a wave from down the road in Rockville.

i think you give a fine showing of love and respect for our veterans, i think your car looks nice, but i'm not sure of the red interior with the blue paint. i have a white c5 with red interior, its my second one. i salute you as far as the bunny, i think it's a cat. and isn't there a chinese restaurant in that shopping center ?

Too many stickers. Lose the stars, multicolored fender stripes and whatever the hell those stripes on the hood are called. Pick a single color for inside the wheels. The "C5" plates are, IMHO, stupid and pointless.
The inside isn't too bad, love the red seats, I plan on putting some in mine, however, it does seem to be a bit too red. Don't care for the red inserts in the doors and over the passenger airbag at all, it makes the inside look like an afterthought.
Overall, D+. I've seen worse, but not that often. The good news is that it can still be saved.

Not big into the show car thing myself but I think it looks fine.It gets your theme across with out question.I recognize the campaign ribbon representation under your hood,,I'm from that era(good old sunny south Viet Nam) It might be considered corny nowadays but the vets young and old are why we can drive corvettes and express opinions freely. So drive on and enjoy!
