Someone had one a 98 Pace car, It looked rather subtle on it, other C-5's, not so much.

I've always been a no decal / bumper sticker kind of person. Try comming up with a good personalized plate maybe.

Personally, I like 'em either way, however the decal needs to mimic the actual lettering and font type. No big ugly block letters..

In most cases, I doubt the car is the biggest issue. DBaggery can be spotted a mile away. The car is just window dressing.

When I created the NS-1 Vinyl kits for the new Camaro's I really went back and forth with using a Windshield banner, because I knew most people would bulk at the idea. But in the end I did and it's the hottest kit going for the C5 Camaro.
Dare to be different.

And if they don't know what it is the sticker won't help. I think they look ricer.

I just bought a '03 Z that had the Big CORVETTE sticker on the windsheild, and I promptly took it off. Just not my thing, I'm thinking the BSMs will be the next to go.
But if you like it, go for it, your car and all that.

I don't mind it.
Somwhere along the road, a previous owner of my car took it off. I have no intentions of replacing it.

When I bought my car it had the silver "corvette" decals in the recessed "corvette" on the dash. I paid for the car, pulled out of his driveway, pulled over and peeled those ridiculous stickers off the dash...and off the rear bumper cover too. I wish the car didnt say "corvette anywhere on it at all.
