Default Everythings Jake

GO AHEAD AND LET ME HAVE IT . . . I can take it.

Feeling antsy today and felt like adding a major mod.











I know, I know, but when I saw ShockwaveTXB's "JAKE", I liked the way it looked on glass. Also, didn't want the CS.R's going to waste.

I like the skull on the back but the C6.R side decals are a little too much.

But what's with the barcode looking thing?

My community uses the same type of barcode to gain entry through the gatehouse area. Instead of putting it on my window, I put it in a plastic sleave and I just open the window and hold it up as I pass through the scanner. It is too damn ugly to put on a nice Vette. I do like the other decals.

Steve, appreciate the honesty and the barcode is so I can get home ( ). We live in a very secure, gated community and it's just one of our many safeguards for people like me, before I lived in a very secure, gated community .

Thanks for the compliment Rich. I do too. When I saw ShockwaveTXB's skull on his back window, I thought it looked great. It was different and he did a great job. And, wanting to be a little bit different too, I thought that the small C6.R's would look good on the sides, against the black glass. And they're only decals, so . . .

Yeah, alot of the vert guys just wave their decal's here too, but no big deal, since I was the one who actually positioned it on.

Hey Phil,
Looks good. *I* might have placed the C6.R at the very bottom of the hatch - and/or put a small Jake right on top of it. Great job buddy!

If it was me, I think I would have put the C6R under the barcode right in the corner. Same place as I have my flags.

Thanks Jim.

I placed it in a few places before I decide on where it ultimately went. Some places looked a little crowded.

Your flag looks good. Believe me, I tried it under the barcode, but it appeared too crowded.

But, if I had put it there, someone would have suggested to put it above

Forget the bar code...have the HOA hire a guard for the gate. Anyone could take a hand-held scanner and scan the bar code on the side of your car...reproduce it and enter the neighborhood at will.

I like the Jake skull on the rear but the C6R seems to imply the car is a C6R. I'd lose the C6R decals. Fortunately for you, what I'd do doesn't matter on your car.
