I was going to suggest the flat lambo yellow. Saw the posted picture and I have to say that I love it.
How bout a solid flat black stripe going down the middle to match?

I have to agree with some of you guys, the flat color is nice but it does look like the car is not right and it is trendy... I think I'm going to stay with a gloss color in Lambo yellow like this:

Well guys, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Especially blackmachdown and Lancejoker! I went with the stock yellow and lambo perl and the car looks AWESOME!!! I just visted it at the shop, I will be posting pictures.
The car looks stock from a far and in low light, but as you approach it and the color bounces off of it you know that the color is much more than stock. Its so rich and the depth is amazing... Woohoo!
Thanks again guys, I'm so excited!!!!

So, I'm in the position to repaint my entire car (2000 C5) due to a few things 'coming together' and I am looking at my options. Any advice from my fellow Vetters would be awesome.
Here are my options:
Body Paint:
- Stock yellow
- Flat yellow with or without flat black roof
- Flat black with gloss back roof -- including red pinstripe line at the join
Strip (Painted on 'CE' style (vettestripe.com):
- Gloss black
- Flat black
- Carbon fiber
- Back with 'true flames' starting at the front of the car and fading off
- Flat back on the hood and trunk flat yellow on the roof (If the car is flat yellow/flat black).
What do you guys think?
