Here is the start of my C5 Jake edition. Having some 1" and 2" emblems made to apply to wheel center caps and under hood fluid caps. Also getting some C5R fender and rear spoiler emblems made that have the Jake skull made together

I guess that displaying Jake on your ride is personal preference. As is with any extra you choose to add or install say like different wheels, wide rear fenders, spoilers, side skirts, extractor hoods, exhaust, double din navigation head units, interior upgrades. The list is endless. I think that you would be hard pressed to find a C5 out there that has not had some form of extra something added or installed to make their ride more personal and enjoyable to them. This forum is dedicated to this fact. If not the vendors who supply all the extras we so long to aquire would not support it. This forum is a sea of knowledge, advice, ideas and people who share a common fondness for these cars. So to each his own. I like the racing Jake and a whole lot of other extras that little by little work their way onto my ride. I'm just curious besides being in the Corvette museum, is there a bone stock C5 out there the way it rolled of the assembly line?

It's still close today, has new Michelins, a C6 shifter, an LMC5 column lock by-pass and an exhaust plate.

They swept the entire series last year with a driver, manufacturer and team championship. They just won 1st and 2nd last race in Baltimore. They are tired for the championship and just qualified 2nd and 3rd at COTA for the race tomorrow.... Corvette Racing is the most successful team in the history of ALMS....
not lately?
