Default 2 Jake Skulls

Where do you guys think I should put these? Or I could even just put 1 and not 2, I ordered the pair from corvettemods.com and apparently they are 4" x 5" in size. My C7 is yellow with dual carbon flash stripes, and the jake skulls are black. What do you guys think, where should go? (if anywhere I'm still not certain if I even should put them on the car or not.

Other than that I also ordered their blackout pieces for the two chrome stingray symbols and the blackout of the chrome front strip.

I had a Jake on my C6, on the back left opposite the Corvette lettering. An obvious place. Not sure there is such a place on the C7, though.

I was thinking of that spot, I'll have to see if it fits though when it arrives. I felt it might look odd to be assymetrical, meaning it would be on either the left or the right side of the rear corvette lettering but not the other.

I was thinking of the lower area between the door and the rear wheel as another option.

Just had a thought I'll probably order a yellow jake skull and put it over my carbon flash stripe on the back or on the lower half of the rear that's carbon flash and put one or two black skulls elsewhere.

Off-topic but I didn't want to start a new thread over a minor question - can anyone see my avatar? I've tried to upload one, and I can see others' avatars but my own does not show when I'm looking at any of my posts.

If they are that big I wouldn't put them anywhere.

That is a possibility. I know their size in inches but once they arrive I'll take a look at how large they look relatively if placed on the car and go from there. I wasn't able to find any smaller C7 jakes online (other than Ebay which I've never used to order anything).

Stickers on a Corvette? No thank you. Leave that for the Honda Civics.

You mean leave that for the Honda Civics and the C7.R but not the Stingray?

I've seen a popular place to put Jakes (if you're into that sort of thing) is on each side of the halo, just behind the door windows
