Not my style, but she's your baby. I just bought a white 99 with a black Jake on each door pillar and one on the driver's door sill. They were the first things to go . . . followed by the Dragon's Tail and Hawke decals under the hood.

Racin' Jake with C5 Flag Eyes!
Gary, you did a great job guy!
It sounds like no one caught the fact that you did the "Racin' Jake" decal with a C5 flag.
Excellent effort. Outstanding job!

I agree with that. It's 3" tall by 2 1/2" wide with most commercial versions running from around 6 1/2' tall to 4 1/2" tall.
If I decide to leave them on I may redo them in 2 1/2" x 2" or possibly even down to a 2" x 1 1/2" or so.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'm heading to "Corvettes in the Park" show tomorrow and will pickup more feedback.

About 1/3 the size of that one, maybe even a little less.

No way I'd mount them higher like the Z06 emblems though.

Friend of mine is a Jake nutt too. He owns a Yellow C6, of course, and I believe if they made Jake toilet paper he'd have it too.
If it's what you like, run with it.

The car looks nice and clean, but the sticker has to go. It is a Vette, not a Civic. No offense, but it bugs me when we all make fun of ricers, and then the same people do tacky ricer modifications to their own cars---stickers, brightly-colored interiors that look like a clown's shirt, wannabe "Lambo" doors, chrome taillight louvers, etc.

Wow. 
Glad I didn't include a shot of my chrome license plate frame and the chrome louvered tail light covers. But I really do think painting the exhaust area a bright florescent orange made them blend in nicely.
