Do you love Yellow? Me, not so much
Hey guys I am looking at stepping up to a used z06.
Trouble is it is yellow and it's not my favourite.
Currently I have a '15 Z51 in Laguna Blue.
Help me love the yellow.
Maybe what can I do to tone it down a bit?
Tint, strips, ?
Thanks,
P.S. no fighting...

I think yellow is a color you have to love to enjoy it. Otherwise you'll regret it.

If you're on the fence, then I highly recommend getting a color that you like. If you're in the market for a Z, certainly there has to be others to be had in a similar price range, or maybe color isn't that important. If so, go for it.
BTW, toning down yellow will be no easy task.

Black wheels, black spoiler, black stinger stripe, maybe black skirts/splitter, black mirrors.

Yellow has a couple of major advantages. Although when it is all washed and shiny, it looks best however, the rest of the time, ordinary dirt really doesn't show. I got my C7 new in August and still have not washed it and it looks good. Yellow is also easy to find in parking lots. This is my second yellow Corvette and I really like the color, but it is certainly not for everyone.

You could turn it into a Taxi service. Yellow cars just always scream Taxi to me,

I have owned several yellow Corvettes over the years. I like them. These aren't C7's but here are a couple I have owned.

Yeah, I love yellow. Pretty sure I can't help you love it though. I suppose you could wrap the car any color you like.
As much as I love yellow we went with this.

I really like yellow but as stated above it's a color you need to love! I came very close to buying a yellow GS it came done to a coin toss yellow won and my wife seconded guested deciding based on a coin toss this was enough of an response to make my decision to go with Blue!

Don't settle on color...too much money at stake...sucks that these cars depreciate...AND to pay the depreciation on a car that you don't really like the color on = FAIL.

I agree with the idea that if you have any hesitation, don't go with a yellow car. For me it was the color that I wanted but unless you feel that way you won't be happy. You have to look at it every day.

That looks great with the yellow calipers, tint and carbon flash.

I like yellow, but if it is not a color you really like, find a different car that is a color you like. No use spending a large sum of cash for something you don't care for.

I have to agree with others. If you don't love it don't do it.
I was at the dealer for hours over my color.

Don't do it.

If you don't love the color, I would suggest not doing the deal. Regret in a car purchase is expensive. I just turned down a great deal on a grey Hellcat. Paid a bit more for the color I wanted but will never look at it and say.... eh the color will grow on me.

I wanted a Red Corvette all my life. When I made the decision to buy my 2016 I went to the dealer and they had a yellow one with black trim on the show room floor. I like it so much I almost bought it until my wife and son reminded me that I always said I wanted a RED corvette.
