Default What did you do with your window sticker?

I am thinking of ordering a window sticker for my vette I bought used.
Those of you that have 1, do you display it or admire it ; or is it filed away and not worth buying in your opinion. Thanks

I tucked mine away in a file with other auto related info. I probably wouldn't
buy one given a choice. But if you REALLY want one, get it.

How much do they cost??

Personally I love "Garage Art" like that, that I can hang on the walls of my garage near my C5. I laminated my original window sticker and have it mounted on the wall. I've also got a 3'X5' Flowmaster banner that I got at our monthly auto parts swap meet. Plus a round Corvette old gas jump type sign along with some dealer posters of 1998 C5s. In addition to all that, for Xmas a couple of years ago, my family gave me one of those Corvette clocks that has a little audio tape in it that roars out different Vette motor sound at the top of each hour. Yeah, I know....my neighbors think I'm alittle odd, but I think they're weird too.
Have fun with that stuff, that's why you bought the car, right??

I took mine, from my 2004 CE Vert, and laminated it, since I have been told that it will be valuable part of my Vette's parts when it is 30-40 years old.

IMO, the window sticker and build sheet are both nice pices of documentation to have for your car. We have both lamenated and hanging in the study.

Where did you get it laminated? That sucker is big! It won't fit in my 8.5 x 11 " laminator.

The build sheets and window stickers for both Corvettes are framed and hanging in the garage! By the way, the garage is a shrine to these cars...even down to the red/white/blue color theme!!

Default Window sticker and build sheet

I have both of them laminated and keep them in truck of car and display them on dash board when showing car at Cruise-in's or car shows. You would be amazed by how much attention they draw. (not that a Millineum Yellow convertible needs any help drawing attention)
