Getto in my opinion..... no matter what yellow it is.

While nobody answered my question I got a lot of good laughs out of your responses. I love this site! Glad to be back in the saddle of a Corvette.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it's wrong!

I guess a lot of people liked my VY 2007 Z51 Coupe with the decal. I won several shows with it. Even with the "Corvette" on the windshield 5 Russian sailors on Pensacola Beach still thought it was a Lamborgini.

In spite of what others have said on this forum, I wanted one. Originally I was going to buy one and install it backwards so people who saw it in their mirrors would know what was about to pass them, but then I decided to install it normally.

In fact, you can read about my installation of a straight decal on a curved windshield here.

Personally, I like rice, especially with a bit of salsa and some refried beans.

I would suggest you go to one of these shops that cut decals and ask them for some scraps of each of their yellows and then you can find the one that best matches.

I like decals and in the end the only opinion that matters is the one of the person(s) you are sleeping with. (wife / girlfriend / both if that's how you roll)

Find a match for the yellow and get a decal and enjoy.

If it were me, I'd reverse the decal on the windshield so folks can read it in their rearview mirror.
