I know that making visual changes to one's vette is subjective, but I'm just not getting this on a new Stingray...

In thinking its a business of his and the lettering allows him to write the car off.

Well, its certainly not for me, or anyone else on CF I'm thinking. Its probably something special to him/her. A man can't help loving an ugly mod.... but he could have left it in the garage.

Not my car nor my money, but not something I would ever put on my car either.

I'd have a big magnetic sign on the side of the door if it'd allow me to write off the cost of the car to my business. I'm pretty sure that'd light some kind of alarm bells at the IRS however.

I'm sure a magnetic sign would stick real well to plastic.

I pretty much agree with ALL of the previous posts! And, even if, as in ArcticC7's post, it is for a business....ugh. Certainly not equating with Luxury.
