not sure if yellow and red is a good comb? maybe if some one had a photoshopped picture or something to get an idea.

I'd have to see it but frankly it sounds horrible. The only thing I can think of would be black. Yellow is a tough color to abide by with graphics because it takes alot to blend everything to make it look decent as a whole (or so I feel). But if red really butters your toast, do it.

It doesn't look TOO bad. Just make sure the red is REALLL DEEP. none of that bright crap.

Can't say as I've ever seen a combo like that...doesn't sound too pretty. I'd go with black stripes on a yellow car. That will match good on it.

Yeah, it isn't all that bad I guess. But like above stated, deep red is theonly red that would work.

Your car is yellow?

I'd go with either Gloss or flat black (I'm leaning more toward gloss),silver, or even white.

But that's just me.

you could always do it and then try to get sponsored by mcdonalds

personally with a yellow car id agree with the above statements black would look best but even white, silver, or maybe navy blue would work

With the yellow, I'd say you either gotta go with black, white or silver. Personally, I love the black boss stripes on a yellow stang, but if you want something original the white or silver could look good as well.

The red is very unique, but horribly tacky.

idk i just love the way that looks but the yellow on the photo is not the same as the ZINC yellow on my mustang so in real life it might not look the same

I think some silver stripes of some kind, maybe not just the dual Shelby racing stripes, but some other kind of srtripes, but in sivler would look really hot on a yellow car.

I agree that it would look bad, but this actually looks good to me. The thing is that that yellow isn't the zinc yellow color. It's more of a deeper yellow while zinc is more like taking yellow and dumping white paint into it. I know my stuff on zinc yellow. =zinc yellow =zinc yellow =screaming yellow

If you want to go with the red, go for it but in my opion it would have to be a really dark red. Go for it

bobwhitedecals.com or graphic-express.com are two that I know of. I have used both and like what I got and how it turned out.
