Default Rice?

I saw these decals on flea-bay, and thought they had some promise. I pulled the cover off the vert today and applied to the lower corner of the windows. Windows have 20% tint. The red decal is very close to my Victory Red. Since it is a convertible, the windows are usually down unless it is parked. Sorry for the poor pic quality (iPhone). Is this rice? Thoughts???

Not bad. If you like it that's all that matters.

I like it. Corvette racing is something I have followed since they began the C5R program (and back in the days of the original GS, kind of dates me). Now we have a symbol of that effort.
It's cool, and only those who follow ALMS will know what it means.

Sorry but I don't like it. I'm not a fan of the jake skulls. I think all the "stuff" some put on their cars is aweful. Before anyone gets the impression that I'm a old, I'm only 26 yo. Just my $.02.

I'm not a fan of the placement. I do like the sticker though. I will say there are alot of things on this forum I see, that I think are tacky. Coming from a 31yr old guy that sold a 375rwhp Toyota MR2 about a yr ago.

I have no problem with the Jakel. It is a Corvette Racing registered trademark and therefore acceptable.
