Default Pin Striping

I am exploring adding some pin stripping of some style to my 2001 millenium yellow C5 and was wondering if anyone out there has some photos of this color car with striping?

Not yellow, but here is what I did in terms of pinstripping on the '00 I had.









In the last pic, the pinstripping goes about half-way on the door on the top stripe and follows the creases in the door back to the back of the door on the bottom part of the stripe.

Not sure what type of striping you are looking for but this site has mainly decals and some striping options, as well as photos on the car. Not sure which have yellow.

In my professional opinion, I would suggest a two-tone stripe of black and silver grey. Hence my screen name "striper".

btw, Jeff, I'm still thinking, but afraid to pull the trigger. I was also thinking of a pale stinger style on the hood?

When I was in high school we had five rolls of adhesive pin strips and attacked a Rambler station wagon a student got from his dad. Seemed funny and looked good but I wouldn't want that crap on my vert!

They were on my '00 (sold it in 2008), but they were decals.

Don't like stripes of any kind on Vettes.

The only stripe I have on my Z is a very subtle accent line that goes around the same area on the back that people paint black. First of all I'm still having problems with posting pics, someday I'll take the time to figure it out. Secondly, the colors I used are hard to photograph against the red, black and a vermillion red orange. Very subtle against black. Because of the lowness of the area, I had to put the car on a lift to paint it so that it was above me.
