Default Save The Manual

I have been talking to a small business named Curbshop. They sell tee shirts, decals, etc. with a theme for preserving the manual gearbox. I wanted a tee shirt with the M7 shift pattern but they don't make one. They do have some decals but I don't want decals on my car. They said they are a small business and don't have the money to invest in tee shirts with an M7 pattern because the demand for their M7 decals is low. I told him very few C7 owners put decals on their cars so decal sales are probably not a good indicator of interest. I don't have any affiliation with them and I have not purchased anything from them (my son-in-law has), I would just like a couple of tee shirts. So if you have any interest let them know. There is contact info on their web site (I doubt I can post a link since they are not a forum vendor);

If you're looking to get a T shirt made up, find the image you want and upload it to a site like vistaprint and have them make it. You can do 1 or 100.

Or, just check around your town. You may have a graphics shop that can make custom decals, banners, shirts, etc.
I am having some custom shirt made right now, and I found I could have them made locally for less than ordering online.

Should not be a problem finding an image.. You could just use a photo of the pattern, or draw one up yourself if you do not want it on the top of the ****. ]

Given that more than 75% of C7s are sold with automatics, I'm not surprised the demand for M7 T-shirts is small.

Cafe Press will make custom T-Shirts with your own design on them:

Yeah, a Web search will locate lots of one-off T-shirt shops. I've used a couple and they were as presented.

TEXHAWKO above has your circular decal; use just the **** from his pic.

My whole back window is decals.

There are lots of C7 / Vette owners who like decals. More to do with not as many vettes as other cars...
