BRIGHT yellow Trans-am

Anyone have a picture of a BRIGHT yellow trans-am? I'm thinking of painting mine yellow, with maybe the grand-fx black.

I think the spoiler is yellow now. I'll have to look at his more recent pics.

Sweet car. Lots of little details in the paint.

i dont think black would look good for the gfx to much of a contrast they would disapear next to the ground... now if you went with a lighter yellow or took the yellow and mix in some white and faded it at the bottom of the car going up the side a bit that would look killer.

Idk about the light yellow on the bottom, but agree that the black would fade into the ground. You wouldn't see it unless up close. How about a black body with bright yellow gfx?
