Question Thinking about changing the color of my 01 ZO6

What's up guys?

Well in the last two months I've been thinking about changing the color of my 01 ZO6 From Millenuim Yellow to Speedway White the reason for this the dealers around here didnt sell any 01-04 C5 ZO6 so we only have 7 C5 ZO6s Around here that we know of so the car is really rare not like 06+ C6 ZO6 they're everywhere :shrug: but now there is 3 Yellow C5 ZO6 + 1 Black + 1 silver + 2 red...

SO I WANNA BE RARE AGAIN and Speedway white only came in 01 ZO6 so its the only choice or I'm keeping the yellow...

I'm still not sure if I'm doing this or not but I'd like to see what you guys think???

The car,





I also have these in the garage for over 4 months



and here is the final look I'm looking for
I Already have same front canrads, Side Skirts, and spoiler but I will keep my MCM Hood with black center and the rear will stay black too (No Mercy's old 01 ZO6












WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOME AND PLEASE VOTE
Hussam.

I voted keep it yellow. I cant see repainting a car with a perfect paint job. So unless your camara does awesome shots in hiding scratched paint and key up paint. I'd say leave it.. I think t looks aewsome the way it is, white would look good too, but save use the money u would have used on paint and make it go faster!!!!!

......well, the fastest way to devalue a car is to change the color it came with from the factory!

your vette looks great as it is right now. white looks great too, and I think it will look even better than yellow IMO, but if I was goin to paint the car, I would go with a custom color!!

so id say keep it yellow and paint your wheels black (maybe with a yellow lip!?) or do a custom color

I actually like your car in yellow, and I normally hate yellow. I think it's the hood that makes me like it. So I'm not sure. White is my favorite color on 90 percent of cars, so I don't know what to tell you acept don't put the body kit on it. Go look at a C4 vette with a body kit on it and tell me how you think they look now.

If your gonna go through the trouble of painting your car just to be different then others, you should paint it a custom color. That way you will be the only one in that color indefinetly; not just until someone moves to your town with a real SW Z.

Me personally, I love white Z's and looked for one when I was trying to aquire mine but ended up with QS; which is also one of my favorite factory colors. But if I was fanatical enough to paint my whole car just to be different I would mix up a dark crimson/blood red. That would be badass to me JMO. TR is nice but I like my cars more synister looking: muuuhhahahaha!!!

EDIT: I almost forgot, if you do go white do us all a favor and leave the ricer canards and skirts off please...oh lord this will probably ruffle some feathers

Vette's should be a tit-hair off the ground without the use of side skirts
