I like it! I say keep it. Yes, most people know it's a corvette, but do they know it's a grand sport? If I were at a corvette car show and saw your banner, it would be the one I would most likely look at first because it was different and would stand out

Some I like and some I don't....yours looks great, IMO. As long as its kept in excellent condition I'd keep it on....but as soon as it starts to fade, discolor, deteriorate, bubble and/or peel It needs to go!

Our club uses window banners with our club name on them- nice at events with other clubs. Because they are window clings, however, no so good in the pouring rain at 60 mph.
So, they go on, and then they go off, as needed. I really don't mind, one way or the other.

One thing for sure--your dealer had it done-THOSE are not for sale-pull it and you ain't getting another one.

I wonder how many folks voting uncool have chrome "corvette" rear license plate frames on their cars?

I'd like to see a total pic of the car.

AND 99.9% of the public has NO clue as to what a Grand Sport is in relation to a Z06, ZR1 or standard Coupe...nice conversation piece!
It is weekend driven car with no car shows. It seems that the majority of the forum members feel that the objective of having the banner on the car is to advertise that it is a Grand Sport. I never looked at it that way. Thats not why I have Grand Sport floor mats or wear a Grand Sport shirt and jacket. I have those things because I like the logo and love the car. After having the car a year, I don't even take, notice of the banner anymore until I get a compliment on it. Also it does slightly set mine apart from the other 1,000's out there. With that all being said, still not sure about keeping it. It was dealer obtained and cannot be replaced once it is removed so I want to really think it out. Here is a picture a little further back showing that it isn't that obnoxious as the close up pictures might show.

The same kind as the other 10,000's out there but just a tad different.
