Is this a bad idea (F-Type Wave)?
Funny the older Wrangler CJ and TJ people don't wave to the newer JK owners either.
The defenders were the last of the LRs with soul. As were the FJ4x & FJ5x series the last of the Land Cruisers with soul. However, if a modern Land Cruiser waves at me in the FJ40, I will certainly wave back with a big smile! (actually if anybody waves at me, I will wave back with a smile, regardless of the gesture they're waving)
I just drove 3,700 miles in 3 weeks, from Nashville to Austin to San Antonio to Waco back to Austin to Houston to Nashville. I only saw one F-Type. A black vert near Hutto, TX. So, no one to wave at. I saw 3 Ferraris one Sunday outside of Austin, but only the one F-Type.
I'm loving all the F-Types around as well, it's nice to see them from the exterior! They do look good on the road, especially surrounded by Camry's.
Had a sighting today in the Hunt Valley/Timonium MD area of York Rd. Was picking mine up from service and on my way to my son's work and had a V6 pull along side. We gave the "wave" and he continued on as I turned. Still a rare sighting in these parts but good to see the group growing.
At least here in L.A., where I assume this is part of the driving exam now as it appears to be mandatory behavior.
Here is how you take care of this situation....take a short video of your own hand waving on your cell phone or iPad....get one of the stow and show mounts and mount it with a sensor that detects other vehicles.....it can wave for you while your eating your Big Mac, and driving with your knees.

NO sticker would look good on the back of the F-Type. Needless to say - although I work in Portland and live in Brunswick (in other words, won't be anywhere near you) - if I see you I WILL wave! Unless I'm going too fast to take both hands off the wheel. I'm sure we'll meet at some point soon.
Next time, make the trip further north and let's meet up.

Def a coupe with NH plates and a male driver heading south on 95 just before the bridge. Those white coupe's sure are something to look at.
I'll give you a heads up next time we visit with the F-Type.

I also see no reason for you to insult all us other coupe owners other than white! Don't you know that there is no "bad" color in any combination or configuration?! Just kidding for those wound-up too tight around here. (Not directed to you U as we all know you're simply Unhingd...and prone to levity...and a gentleman).
It will be my pleasure meeting you. (DJS has intentions of driving up here and going to the Maine Botanical Gardens. Perhaps we can coordinate a little rendez-vous and Botanical Blast?)
Happy Motoring!

Let me know the details and if we are not traveling we'll join you (and DJS).
Oh and I'm not easily insulted or offended. Life is too short to let the little things get at me.

I'll leave the day/date to DJS - I'll assume he's reading this post - and we'll make a date of it. Life is too short, you got that right!
