My opinion, is that they look goofy. Everyone that likes cars is going to know that you're driving a Corvette so no need to spell it out for them in a big banner . I have a similar issue with some of the 1990's mustangs that said "Mustang" in huge letters on the rear bumper...Reminds me of Captain Obvious...

on edit: If you still want to see some...this should give you a few: https://www.google.com/search?q=corv...banner&imgrc=_

Certainly your choice but IMHO they look terrible. Totally distracts from the frontal view of the Corvette. Your eyes are drawn to the banner and that is not a good thibg.
The banner adds nothing and actually is a distraction.

If it is done right and in the right color, they can look good. The color has to flow into the paint color of the car without distraction. Oh by the the way, it's your car do as you wish and don't let others prevent you from what you like!

I like the plains ones with no lettering. Just protection from the sun's glare.

Default tribute

C7R has the banner, so it's a tribute to the race car to put on the street car

You should get one, how else will people know the model of car you're driving.

Daily I wear a dress shirt, across the front it says "SHIRT". That way I don't need to tell people what it is or worry about them mistaking my shirt for pants.

Here's mine done in Matt black, it's so subtle most people don't notice it. I like the stealth look. No regrets here

Just buy a few different ones from the J.C. Whitney catalog. You'll find something you like.

Haha...Only thing worse is when people find the uncontrollable urge to paint the inside of any recessed lettering on their cars with a contrasting color.

Was on the 13 GS when I bought it. Unless some message besides Corvette is OK. If on the fence and like one day and not so much the next. I would not put it on.
