Default Corvette's with sticker

At the end of July, I post a thread about the Matte/flat black corvette with the insane sticker on the side.

Many people on the forum bashed the car because of the insane sticker or commented on the stickers which were probably place there for advertising. Insane Sticker or Not the car is badass!!!!

On Pinks All Out a C5 from MTI Racing just happen to win( Congrats to MTI and Paul Smith Jr. for the win) here is the link to the car and pictures. On this C5, there are a bunch on stickers which were probably place there for advertising. To make the final cut of Pinks All Out is one thing but to win is another thing.

So I would like to hear your comments on the stickers on both of these vettes.

Are you considering putting some stickers on your car, Zilla? You have my vote - go for it!

I don't like stickers for MY car, but I understand that these cars probably would not have been possible without sponsorship. Just look at NASCAR or any other racing program - even the most well-funded teams have to have sponsorship. That said - the poseurs in those riced out fart can cars that have stickers are just that - poseurs.

its comparing a street car to a race car... i think all of us that bash the stickers have the mindset of "Why advertise, everybody knows what i drive anyway"...
If i saw either car at the track as a "Race Car" the stickers are where the should be and a good color combination. on the other hand if im driving down the main Ave here in town and see the same thing i think to my self

"God did that kid in the STi sell his car so he could buy a Vette and destroy it?"

Long story short Cool race cars but tacky on the street.

I like stripes, but not stickers man. Unless it's one that is from a performance 500k hp gain hood and trunk seal developed by NASA engineers.

I think both of them look good Todd.

I have farted around with photoshop with CCA stretched over the length of the car...

The big difference in the 2 as I see it is that the MTI Vette is done with taste and a nice theme, The black one was just plastered on the side like a band-aid. You can see that one is professional and the other is not.
Just my 2 cents.

I love the idiots that drive around with the license plate surround of the dealership they bought the car from. If they aren't paying you a monthly fee to advertise their business, then take that shiat off! They are taking advantage of you.

There's a difference between a RACE car and a FAST car. Stickers on one of those two are perfectly ok. On the other one ...cough... insane ...cough... they look like sh*t.

Would you guys put a Lingenfelter stickers on you car if Lingenfelter said they would give you a 427 twin turbo for free as long as you put a Big Lingenfelter sticker on your car?

Hell yea I would. Then the next day when I washed the car, the sticker "accidentally" came off.
