Default Much Cleaner...IMO

Decided to remove the "Corvette" letters from the back. I think it looks great with just the cross flags.

^ The Corvette lettering on the rear is tacky and adds no visual appeal

Default Looks good

Cleaner look (and less "stuff" on the a$$ makes it go faster - you know, less weight and areodynamic drag)
And if they can't figure out what kind of car it is - screw 'em!

Looks good! The letters aren't needed to tell what kind of car that is, it screams for itself.

I sort of like the fish...I'm undecided at this point.


I removed the script because I thought it looked too busy on the back. I also think the C7 should have had a different "Corvette" font than the C6 corvette. They look the same to me.
