Default Yellow Vert Interior Mod (Pics Attached)

Just thought I'd share the before and after of my 2000 Yellow Vert interior mod. I installed the seat covers this past weekend. I did the yellow dash a couple weeks ago. I like how it turned out. I'm still waiting on the yellow glove box and will be installing yellow leather covered hoops in the next couple of weeks.
I hope its not to much yellow. What do you think? Sherry

The last pic was taken at a friends house when by chance 3 corvettes showed up, they were all yellow and each of us had a different model. What are the chances of that?

Wow, that came out nice!

I went in the opposite direction and decided on a subdude look,



Love the pics of all three models together. Were you sitting in a tree to take it?

yes, i know i need the stickers . ive seen this one and the airbag 3d sticker on ebay. do the members here get a discount. i keep trying to convince myself that its not crazy to pay 25.00 for a sticker. ive been trying to convince myself for a while now.
work me a deal.......come on......can you do better on the pricing for both? steering wheel and airbag sticker???

as for the photo of the 3 corvettes, the owner of the z06, chris, grabbed a tall ladder and just started shooting. ill post a couple more.......

I usually don't like the two-tone look, but I have to admit, all that yellow really works. It does look a little lopsided without the yellow glovebox, but I guess that will be fixed soon.

the reason i dont have the glove box yet is because i didnt want to drive around without one. i found a nice used one and sent it in this past monday. should get it back in a week or so.
you wouldnt believe how much the yellow dash pieces were. of course its a core exchange and im waiting for my deposit back, but when its all said and done i think i will have gotten a fantastic deal.
the knee bolster under the steering column and the glove box were extra pieces . i looked around for awhile for this yellow kit and by far i paid way less than any website i looked at.
anyone interested, pm me and i can give you the information on the business that did the kit.
they also do any finish you desire and the price is the same.....
i'm very happy with my purchase.

Looks great.

Should consider getting the door pulls and armrests done as well to just balance everything out.

The last pic with the 3 body styles is a real keeper.

funny you should say that. actually i do have the shift boot, e brake boot and door pulls just like yours. i installed the e brake boot then got to thinking, i needed to keep the boots solid black. i thought there was enough yellow going on. now the door handles, i think those should be solid yellow. ill do those myself so that they will match the passenger dash handle. i do like the armrest pieces your talking about but i think the price they want for these things is really high. i will probably be able to fabricate something myself and i did buy extra leather just in case. ill have to give it some thought.

im wondering, can we buy ready made millenuim yellow spray paint in a aersol that is shiny straight from the can? spray and go with no extra work needed to make it really shine. i keep thinking ive run across a thread somewhere here on the forum. someone posted a link to a website. it was like 35-40 bucks for a can.
anyway, id like to know if it is available, where do i buy it?
i guess ill sell the shift and e brake boots along with the door handles.
im sure somone will buy them and i can get something back for them. you would swear this stuff is made of gold for as much money they charge.
