How many people here would buy a yellow Z06? Would you care if there was a fat black stripe down the middle?

Pics are worth a thousand words. Yellow is one of the most popular colors, though.

I would buy a yellow Vette, but not if it had the stripe/stripes on it.

heck yeah I would. Get it home and peel that vinyl stripe off (assuming it's a vinyl stripe, as it most stripes nowadays).

How could you not want a yellow vett? Come might think it's somewhat cliche' for a sports car to come in a bright yellow...but I think it fits the Vette beautifully!

Yes. No I would not care if it had everything else I was looking for. Stripes can come off easy enough

I didn't set out to buy a yellow Vette. But, as said above, its grown on me over the last few years.

VERY few stipes i've seen were painted on and/or were under the clearcoat. Usually factory stripes or custom paint jobs are the only ones that are not removable (AKA under the CC). Even some factory stripes are vinyl (cough cough GT500).

If you can physically feel where the stripe starts on the paint, it CAN be peeled off. Just try to get a fingernail under a corner and if it does easily it's a sure thing.

WARNING - do be aware that if they've had it on there for years and years and it's gotten a great deal of sun (paint fade), you may very well have some discoloration between the exposed paint and that which was under the stripe.

I'd know...i did this with a Ford Probe when I was young, and it looked hideous after i took the stripe off after 4 years.

When I had a stripe on my yellow z06, it got more comments on it. People loved it. I took it off because I was worried abount paint fading. There was none after 1 1/2 years.
