Default Millenium yellow ideas

So 8m 9n the fence about adding some stripes or black accents to the car. Sometimes I think it needs something to break up a little of the yellow. Sometimes I thinks fine. Show me what you have done to your millenium yellow car

Your car look good. I'd say you are done as anything more and you chance "adding to add."

Pro chefs know when to stop adding spice.

If anything, try some stripes on the hood and rear hatch area. You may get some ideas from a vendor like VetteStripes.com. You could also black out the lower area of the rear fascia.

I added some black outs front and back, and I removed the body side molding. The fact that mine is a convertible with a black top helped to tone down the amount of yellow. You do have a great looking car already!

I put a couple carbon fiber hash marks on the fenders, wrapped the mirrors in carbon fiber, and did the roof also. Added some more to the rear fascia, and just finished adding carbon fiber lettering on the rear.

Interior is my next project. Where did you get yours? And was the yellow leather called Millenium Yellow? All I can seem to find is Velocity Yellow. It's close, but I'd prefer Millenium.

so I have talked with Dave at vette stripes. I keep going back to these 3. Either carbon fiber or matte black. Help me pick 1 or none of these.

I like the style of the stripes on the blue one, but in black on your car!

I got the leather from Interior Innovations. I didn't care for the all black interior especially when the top was down. TOO HOT!

You like McDonalds? Add some red!



My car is red and I occasionally think the same, that some stripes might look nice. On a yellow car, I like the C5R look with blacked out rear and maybe black top.
