Ah, more personal thought. I like yellow cars and bikes. I see yellow as cheery and sunny. If I were ever to buy a Ferrari (right) I’d spec fly yellow for it.
Just to add my dislike it’s black cars although bikes can look good. To me, a black car looks like a melted lump of tar. Add black wheels and I refuse to look.

If you're happy, that's what really counts.

Yeah...I agree that taxi cab look is to die for!

If everyone liked the same thing we wouldn't have so many colors (or so many kinds of cars) in the first place. I wanted a yellow C6 but too impatient so got black instead. I then started turning my black yellow...sort of...
I plan to eventually add yellow/black seat covers from this company and likely add diamond stitching with yellow in the middle, black on the sides. Adding a yellow jake would be cool perhaps...
As someone above said, all that matters is whether you like it or not...personally I love the seats and the accents you have added.
Enjoy!
Engine will be having more stainless added in the next few weeks as budget allows.
Have ordered the Velocity Yellow license plate frame that should arrive in a few weeks...but exterior done I think...

Folks, FWIW, RIDIES, who’ve I’ve supported for years has REALLY dropped the ball with the C5 members. They have yet to respond to a number of product complaints, and they have been absent since one of us posted their response to him. Some have emailed or posted messages elsewhere and they have not responded.

This looks so bad... I'm sorry >.< It looks like someone colored a corvette in a coloring book and made it into the real thing - the yellow soilier, grills on the tails, license plate look so tacky, especially on a base model.

This is not a good look...sorry but this car is a mess visually and the seat skins are ill fitting with wrinkles. I keep asking rides about fit and finish in every thread I see that has what I consider poor fitting covers but my inquiries are just bypassed.

Probably have to take some time and heat the leather (carefully with a heat gun or blow dryer) and massage the wrinkles out. Just slapping the covers on and bolting them into the car, you’re probably gonna have wrinkles.

I've installed three different sets (due to changing interior colors). No wrinkles, no heat or sitting in the sun required (though the sun did pull them even tighter). It's all about the installation. I am not sure why others are not able to get the seats as tight during initial install other than I don't quit working on them until I get it seated the way I want. It's a lot of work but it can be done.
