let me get this straight. . . you sent your car off for a fresh paint job, and the most important decision you have to make (what color) and you chose yellow ???
well, i guess theres no accounting for taste.
sorry man, id sooner be seen behind the wheel of a furd than a yellow bird. . .

I think if your gonna do yellow its gotta be canary yellow. And its gonna have some good accents. I think some black accents with the yellow paint would look good.

i chose yellow because no one seems to have them. and i know of no one who has the millenium yellow (C5 vettes) on a thirdgen though i am sure they exist. its the trust yellow i know of so far. i dont like pastel colors that is why i didnt go for canary. the bumper covers are still black, though u cant see it from the picture really. black rims will be in the future

I don't normally like yellow 3rd gens, but your's really looks good! I know what you mean about having a common color... I too had a red 3rg gen. I think it was the most ordered color or something!

Thanks for the defense guys, I hate the aqua color on camaros and what not but i dont insult anyones color choice b/c I know mine is quite different (being a yellow lover). However I put the picture on for both criticism and praise. If someone doesnt like it then thats fine. I got all the praise I could handle yesterday when a guy with a blue Viper GTS told me he liked the color on my car. So again keep the posts coming good and bad!

Awsome color choice, looks great!
I recently bought that same color yellow (C5 Corvette) and plan on painting within in the next few months or so.
Don't you just love how much it stands out?

there's a lot of good-looking yellow cars but that looks like the same shade of yellow as a school bus.... I wouldn't want my car mistaken for a school bus
