Default Windshield Decal

Just put this on. Was looking at traditional Corvette but opted to support our movement here in the SF Bay Area. Thoughts?

I will give you props for not putting a windshield decal on your car that IS the name of your car.


That said, this isn't much better. Corvettes are timeless classics and less is more when it comes to aesthetics.


Less stripes
Less chrome
Less tail light louvers
Less cove fins


I think you get the idea.


And before anyone goes ape **** on me, this is just MY opinion. And the OP did ask for "thoughts"....

Not sure what your "movement" is. If this is a local 'thing' then go for it.

If that is what makes you happy with your ride then good for you. Not my preference, I like 'em clean and minimal, but its not my car and if we all liked and went for the same things it certainly would be a boring world. Enjoy your vette the way you want it! Have a good one!

A razor blade and goo gone will be your friend.
Not a fan.

No that it matters, but what exactly is your movement?
Regardless, I'll have to agree with the other posters, windshield banners went out in the last century.

If the movement means that much to you, by all means leave it on. Not like you can't remove it if you want.

isn't FOREVER supposed to mean more than 2 years?

Per Wikipedia - The Raiders plan to continue playing in Oakland through at least 2018, pending the completion of the new stadium in Las Vegas.

Personally, I prefer to see a "clean" windshield on a Corvette.
