I tried reading your post, but the lack of punctuation made it too difficult to understand. LOL.

Don't paint the hood loovers to match your car

I like the yellow paint, but I wouldn't paint the louvers and grill yellow. I would go with the gold stripes. It's your car so do what you want and you'll be happy with the results.

Don't paint the grill or louvers. Leave them black. It looks so much nicer. It is your car, but I have never been one for the monochromatic look of our cars. You should leave some accent color on a few items (namely louvers and grill). Cars that all the same color look plain and boring. Just my opinion, since you said you wanted some.

no way dude the only reason why yellow looks good is cause of the black accents......I say yellow stock looking irocs are cool, a yellow iroc w/o black looks dumb IMO. Light color irocs need the black to look good...i love the headlight pots done in black. I also vote for black stripe kit.

i think painting the headlight pockets and grille really takes away from the look of the car and looks sorta tacky, but to each his own lol have fun with it!
