Looks pretty good, yellow isnt my color, but your car looks sweet! BTW You got a light bit of overspray in the rear wheel wells (ducks and runs, Pittdp swings and misses, mikey continues running)

Look sweet!! Personally I like the strips on, gives it that black and yellow 'Killer-B' look.

You know, I dont like the stripes on most cars, but I think that they would look "right at home" on a yellow car. It gives it just enough contrast or something, I dont know. Anyone have some pics of a white car with and without the stripes (color Im painting mine again )?? I dont know if I want them or not, I dont think I do.

Nice colour.

Your car looks very good. Probably better with the front bumper though.

What yellow is that?


I am painting my car Canary yellow. That yellow looks pretty damn close.


So is that the color yours is now?


Looks good though!, i would have left the strips on and left the black strip in the bumper.. contrast looks good!

I like it with the strips on the car better, but the paint job looks nice.

I like it with the stripes, but you already painted the back bumper, and the door handles yellow. So probably the front bumper will be yellow as well.

Paint the strips yellow and put them back on?

how about leaving the stripes black, and painting a yellow 1/4" stripe down the center of the side strips? mine's red with red (stickon) pinstriping on the strips and it looks pretty sharp IMO.
car's lookin' sweet, pittdp!

I do like the idea of the 1/4 STRIPE, i WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE. AND AS FAR AS BEING CLOSE TO CANARY YELLO, I think your color may be off on your monitor, lol... it is 95 comp corvette yellow, When I had it painted 7 years ago it was only about $43 per quart but it has shot up to 83 per quart nowb and I need two just to paint the car.

if you're good with photoshop, just add 'em on to your avatar pic. or test it out with yellow stick on striping... that way it'll be easy to remove if it's not your style.
