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!

There is nothing wrong with yellow. Perhaps you forget that Golden yellow was one of the most popular colors for the IROC's 85-87?

well, i guess theres no accounting for taste.
Or a total lack of tact

sorry man, id sooner be seen behind the wheel of a furd than a yellow bird. . .
And I'd rather hear a fart than someone rag on another person's choice in car colors.

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?

I seriously love yellow and black birds.
Have you thought about painting the spoiler black?

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

Stripes might be too much. Get black body side molding, Black door locks, and black accent birds like on the 91/92 Formulas
