Added Jake decals to the center caps & A pillar. Not 100% on the A pillar, let me know what you think.

Op- I like the center caps. Not really diggin' the A-pillar because it's too in your face. An outline sticker like your caps, but a little bigger and in black, on the B-pillar would look okay.

I’m leaning that way - though I’m stopping any black at the level of the side markers/Grand Sport badges. Keeping only orange above that line. Thanks for the opinion.

Where did you get your stickers, btw? I've been thinking about doing the same on my chrome wheels. The center caps are blank chrome.

Caps look good, don't dig the A pillar. How about the B pillar? It would look ghosted and not in your face.

I'd leave it on the wheels and take if off the A pillar. Less is more.

I'll probably get killed for this but jakes on a corvette are like ink on a pretty girl. Needs to be found, not seen in the open......

Removed them off the A pillar - didn't love it. Appreciate the honest feedback.

Agree with the remarks about the A pillar. And I'm always partial to a blacked out top and halo but you said no black above the side markers so I guess that's a no go. Sweet looking ride!
