man i love that color... i was going with orange black 2 tone but i love the way your car looks. Your car has convinced me to keep mine yellow. man stay yellow its your car but there isn't many yellow camaros. Nice camaro check out my '86 Z28... which is funny because thats what mine is and they are both yellow and have irocs lol nice ride. -Matt
