Default Should I do it?!

I’m torn between getting this decal under my c7. Mine is the velocity yellow C7 stingray so I’d be getting the decal black.

Someone will invariably chime in and recite that tired trope of, "It's your car, your money. So long as you're happy..."

But I think moments like this are great sanity checks. While you may follow through with this regardless of feedback, it's good to understand how the Corvette community as a whole would respond to it and therein, car enthusiasts in general. Because no one ever wants to be that guy with the grotesque car that everyone cringes at.

It's not permanent, there's worse out there. Asking opinions here are worthless since most don't believe in stripes and prefer to debadge the car.

I voted no, but there is only one vote that counts -- it is yours. What do YOU want to do is the question. Good luck.

So the blue Vette pictured with that Stingray sticker also has a Z06 badge and Grand Sport hash marks . I think the owner of the car pictured is either confused, wants to label his Vette as every model, or is a complete sticker addict.

Think about the person who took their sick C6Z put GS hashmarks on it and then added a Stingray decal to it.

That's who you would be.

Hell no. Why not start putting stickers all over the car, too?

It's your car, but if you ask my opinion, I wouldn't do it.

If you like it put it on. It's not my style. But what the hell! I like chrome wheels. What do I know.
If I asked the forum members if I should get chrome or black, black would win, and I'd be driving around with wheels I don't like. That's crazy! Configure your car how you want it. F... everyone else.

Well, if that picture is your inspiration, your sticker should say Zora on the door with a ZO6 fender badge. Depending on where you live, you just might get to be the Grand Marshall this Thanksgiving.

Seriously, I would never tell anyone no to any cosmetic changesto their ride, so to be fair, I went to my garage and imagined that sticker on my car. I just don't believe the body lines make that the best place for any kind of sticker at all.

But it may not look so bad on a yellow car...maybe if the letters were smoked...or faded somehow and flowed with the angles. A font/pitch change could change everything.

That said....no vote for me. I'd need to see it on a 7th Gen car to be fair.
