Default Callaway Windshield Banner??

We have a 2011 Callaway convertible, and I've just now started thinking about getting the Callaway banner that goes on the top of the windshield. Haven't had any luck finding them. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Windshield banners are one of the worst things you can put on a Vette. Don't do it.

I too have a Callaway but you won't see one on my car. Your car, your choice.

Thank you. Of course, those naysayers probably say that about the 07 Ron Fellows Z06 with CORVETTE on the windshield.

Not my preference either, but to answer your question. Go to your local print shop that does print screening type work for vehicles. I'm sure they can make one for you and do it to your exact specifications for size, color and font style.

I just love how people can try and tell others what to do, especially when that was not even part of the post. It is your car so don't pay attention to those that try and force their rules on you.

As far as the windshield sticker is concerned, I don't believe that Callaway installs them on their cars, so most likely you will need to contact a vinyl sign maker to make it for you. Most likely will not cost a whole lot.

go to your local sign company. had my windshield done and it came out great. one thing, make sure they use 3M top quality. it may cost a little more but well worth the cost. every one is entitled to their own opinion. if you want it "DO IT" mine looks great.

LOL. It's an anonymous internet chat forum. People post their opinions, that's what it's for. If that bothers you I suggest you find another forum 'cause that's how this one works.

That's the kind of thing that just screams "LOOK AT ME AND THE HUGE SIGN ON MY WINDSHIELD". Probably not a good thing.

Sounds cool - but to complete the look you need a Pioneer Stereo sticker on the back window, chrome DUB22" emblems on the front fenders, and a Powered by Chevy license plate frame

Those windshield banners look very tacky in my opinion. However that being said I'm sure on can be made at kinkos. Just measure and tell them what ou want on the banner.

Get in touch with Mike Furman at Criswell Chevy in Gaithersburg Md. They're a Calloway dealer and may be able to help. Just a suggestion.

I've been a member of this forum since 2001 so I'm well aware of "how this one works". When someone asks a question, it should be answered without anyone's personal opinion added. If you can't respond in that fashion, then don't respond at all.

Perhaps some do not know what a 2007 Ron Fellows Z06 looks like. It comes with CORVETTE on the windshield. Are you going to say that is tacky??!!

I have had more Corvettes than most, and I sell them, too, so I'm very familiar with Corvettes and accessories. Some aftermarket things I don't like, but I don't voice my opinion if someone else does like them. Some of the people here should do the same.

Thanks to everyone who gave respectful answers. I do appreciate them all.

Elaine,

Be careful if you do the custom vinyl letter cutting route. Unless the results are curved to fit the windshield, you may have to cut out the letters and install them individually as I did.

You can see my write-up, "Applying Non Curved Windshield Decals," to see how I got around this limitation.

This would be an incredibly boring place if nobody ever posted their opinion about anything.

Thank you. You beat me to it.

You see that is where you are wrong. I have no problem voicing your opinion when the OP is asking for it. But when someone simply asks where to get something then answer the question. Most here really don't care what others do to their own vehicle. Now when someone post a "What do you Think", then that is different.
This idea that it is an open forum is nothing more then an excuse for some to play mod police or you as I do not what you want. Funny how I never hear anyone tell a stranger to their face at local show or cruise ins or a chance meeting that they think they screwed their car up with some type of mod. They may think it, but they don't come out and say it.

I had a guy at a car meet ask me why I ruined my car with what I did to it... some do it....

I agree about asking Mike at Criswell, if anyone knows where you can get one he probably would.
