I'm looking at a 2001 RT/10, but it's yellow and they look a little funny (IMO), without something to break up the color on the body.
So what have you guys seen/done to your yellow vipers to customize them. I was thinking maybe silver stripes, but I've never seen them on a yellow, so don't know what it would look like. Any ideas? Post pics if you have them.

Never really cared for black stripes...any pics of the blue or silver. My 95 was black and had a pewter stripe...loved it! Color-shifts might look cool, hadn't really thought of it...

Bzzzzzzz. If a viper looks like a bumble bee, will it still bite or will it sting.

I have always been a fan of the black wheels.

I was a little concerned over the color choice (or lack thereof) when I got my yellow Viper. I've had it about a month and I like it better all the time. My brutally honest friends, family and coworkers all give it a thumbs up as well. One thing I appreciate about it is that there just aren't that many yellow cars on the road. As a daily driver, I am also pleased that it doesn't seem to show the dirt too bad either.

My wife veto'd the black stripes and I think she was right. I have though about perhaps just blackening in the Viper logo or similar to break up the color a little, but not sure if this is blasphemy in the Viper community!

There was a post not long ago of a 2000 yellow car with white pearl stripes. If I'm not mistaken it was the same white metallic pearl used on the Cadillac Seville STS. It really looked sharp!

IMO, I would not change a thing. I have had a lot of cool cars, but I have never had as many thumbs up on the road as I get in my new RT/10. Even better at night.

Yellow kicks A**!!
Just get some nice wheels and get chrome emblems, I found that it does break up the color some.
Either way you cannot go wrong with yellow. It will grow on you and you will love it.

Here's the pictures Viper99 was talking about. He lives right up the road from me. It is a 2001 Race Yellow with the 2003 Viper stripes added. He used the Town & Country minivan Pearl White for them. Look's good I think. Hope this helps you out some.

Norman also had the emblems painted to match the stripes.
