I'm glad most guys don't like the Jake on their car .. then that would look Goofy if everyone put them on .

Don't like the look, too cartoonish.

It's ok on a race car but looks juvenile on a base car with all seasons. The irony is over some heads.

I won't go so far as to call it silly. If you like it, go for it. It'll never be on my car, though. I think having race car graphics and such on a street car is an affectation, an attempt to say "Look at me!" To each his own, though.

Same here.

I will admit, I am a "No sticker" guy though and I think all stickers are terrible. I like the clean, low key look.

I don't have the jake logo on my car, but the stinger hood version on the c7-r looks cool to me.... I do have at shirt with the jake logo though.

I don't get the attraction of skulls. I know some people have them on jewelry, clothes, etc. Just not my thing.

I realize Jake is "racing", but again, not my thing.

If you're gonna put Jake decals all over a street C7, why not slap the rest of the stickers from the real C7R on it? Might as well mount a huge wing on it too. The huge Corvette across the top of the windshield would look awesome on a street C7.

What's amusing is that the actual C7R doesn't have Jake all over it.

I follow and attend Corvette Racing events but have never been a fan of the whole "Jake" thing. I have Corvette shirts/hats, etc. but none have the Jake logo. A personal preference. I agree with the comments that a stock street car plastered with the logo is kind of tacky. To each his/her own.

It kinda combines "Corvette Racing" with the "Punisher" logo... It looks ok, nothing wrong with adding some fun to things.

I like Corvette racing so im ok with it.
