Leave it on. It looks so out of place all raised up and not a different color than the car IMO.

Off......I hate overlays. The whole idea of the emblems on the 'bird is to give a tonal effect. Sticking a decal on top of them ruins the effect and just doesn't look right.

Yeah well today that bit me in the ***, after a year and a half. I was on 37 in Toms River and swung a wide turn at an intersection and a cop was sitting in a parking lot watching me so he pulled me over and let me go with just a ticket for no front plate.

I like it on. But my front plate cover is hanging in the garage. Oregon is one of those places where it's just an excuse to pull you over if your front licence plate is not shown. I was pulled over 3 times before I gave it up, but they don't seem to bother the Corvettes.

14-3 in favor of leaving the decal on. I'm still undecidedBut the license plate is not going back on, it looks like total **** IMO.

the T/A's styling is very aggressive from the factory, so I have always felt that overlays are overkill.. Keep the car as clean as you can, and focus your efforts on wheels, stance, power, drivetrain, suspension ,ect.
