I wouldn't put it on mine but to each his own. I won't think you're a tool if you put it on yours.

Someone should publish a list of "what you can't do" on a Corvette. Like it's okay to put Z06 stuff on a Z06 but you can't put a Z06 badge on it.

As a I read the forum daily about guys being told what looks good and what doesn't look good on a Corvette, I can't help but wonder if their voice is the Corvette conscience of "right and wrong" or is their voice just the loudest.

After seeing some of the pics on this thread I still say nooooo way but I think it's for the wrong reasons. It doesn't look bad at all on those pictured it's just the idea that I can't stand. I think those stickers have been forever ruined by every peach fuzz moustache teenager with his flat billed hat turned slightly sideways and his wife beater on that drives a v6 mustang.

Chit 80% of the ppl on this forum are guilty of doing things "you can't or should not do on a Corvette."

Some of those interior accent pieces or carbon fiber decal overlay just dont do it for me.

But that is OK and what makes each of us and our vettes unique

Do whatever you want, just don't expect everyone to like it.

If you do put one on your windshield, be sure to get a 'wheelskin' and 'caliper covers' to carry that theme.
