Freedom of expression. Mine says it all:" Corvette Racing" I am the other dude in the GoergeZ post. Now I must admit that I would not just put anything my windshied. Letters are script and subtle 2 tone blue and red that is intended to compliment the C5R theme. So here it is: not cool to put on junk that will lessen the presence of a Corvette, however cool to compliment it. JMO

Its your car, only you can make a descision, that makes YOU happy.. I've seen some really bizzare things done to these cars... From giant spoilers to pink paint jobs to black or red wheels yada yada yada.. The list goes on.. Whats cool to you might look like crap or just plain silly to someone else...
However you did ask for opinions, personally I don't like them.
If they say "Chevy", "Corvette", or anything that should be obvious like "black Car
", I find unnecessary.If it is a tuner/shop name, or contains info not obvious to the average enthusiast, I am less opposed as long as it is subdued and not "in your face". JMHO

and there you have it. You want a classy looking car, buy a Caddy/Benz/Jag etc. A Z06 Corvette is a world class race car, not a world class luxury car.

If you want a "race car" it would be far from what is bought off a showroom floor.

At the end of the day, I own a Corvette, not a Ferrari. They are two different cars, and I am quite happy to own a Corvette over a Ferrari. I'm not aspiring to make my Corvette into a wannabe Ferrari. So really, I couldn't care less whether you see chrome wheels or windshield banners on Ferraris. On a Corvette, I feel that both of those items look great. Of course, that's just my opinion, and everyone is entitled to theirs.

Sure, it isn't technically a race car, but most will tell you that a C5Z is about as close as it gets to a street legal race car from the factory.

You may as well start asking about Jakes...
Who really cares? Its not like someone is going to walk up to you and say "Oh, by the way, that decal looks like sh#t..."
Or worse yet, maybe another Vette owner isn't going to wave?
