C5 Windshield "Corvette" Lettering Decal
Where is everyone getting their C5 decal with the "Corvette" font lettering that goes across the top of the windshield? The only ones I've found are for the C6, and every vendor I've looked at indicates the C5 equivalent is no longer available. Is everyone just using the C6, or are they old ones from when they were still available? If you are using a C6 decal, do they have to be trimmed or do they fit as is? I've been wanting one of these since I bought my 2000 but can't find one anywhere.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sorry about that Ed, but somebody will help you out here. Some of us just aren't into that stuff so we aren't shy about razzing somebody who is. Nothing personal. If you're on here long enough, you'll definately have a chance to let us know some of the crap we like isn't to cool. Good luck in finding your c5 sticker!

A couple of years ago, when my vette was new to me, I found that any sign shop can download the trademark image from online and make you one in about ten min. Any color. Any size. Any length. About $40.00. It was something I lost interest in shortly. I also had the white script (which I have on my back glass)made at the same shop. It's been on for three years and no problems. Vinyl lettering holds up pretty good.

A good sign shop can make the decal for you. Otherwise, Ecklers shows a windshield lettering kit but it does not appear to be in the Corvette font.

I'm not knocking it or trying to talk you out of it. But I bought an 85 Camaro once that had "jesus saves" lettered up there. Since it was a resale deal for me jesus had to go. Only problem is the tint had faded around the letters and the tint permanently read "jesus saves". Just a heads up to those who think it's not permanent. It could be

Try a good sign shop and verify that they have or can get the Corvette font unless any standard font will do.

I agree with you Ed. When someone asks a simple question, if you don't have an answer or not something you would do, simply go back to the main forum page and look for another topic.

Thanks TR. I definitely want the Corvette font, it would look strange otherwise. I know a couple of higher-end shops in the Dallas area. I'll do some calling around tomorrow and see if I can find one that has experience with automotive vinyl and can create what I want.
You can then take it to any sign shop and they can make it for you.
Peace
Chip

Mid America used to have them. Appears to be the correct letter style as well so it should help you hunt them down.
