Did a pretty good job in Photoshop there, kudos to you for that, now when you REALLY paint the car, take a little green out of that yellow and it'll be a better tone. And don't paint the headlight covers.

2; get rid of the stripes and headlight paint and I'd give you a 7.5. I absolutely love the look of the brightest yellow paint on a fiero. Your yellow is pretty dull, must be the shadow from the garage, eh?
I think with a bright yellow, no extra dark stuff, and a monotone paint instead of painted lower trim, I'd give you a 9.5 (can't be perfect ).

4.5 the way it is now but if you'd reverse the paint pattern (black base with bright, almost neon yellow racing stripes) and keep the headlight covers the same color as the body, I'd probably give it a 9.5.

If you go with a brighter yellow then it will looke like mine. I don't really care for the headlight doors all that much. The way it sits I would say 6.
Thanks Ken

6 for the other one, i agree with everyone else, dont paint the headlight covers black, looks tacky. i wouldnt paint the bottom black either, imo it takes away from the look of the gt's nose. i say you go with a paint job like moocow's(take a look at 1fst2m6's fiero, same concept)

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else is saying. Don't paint the headlight covers, and I wouldn't paint the lower aero moulding black, either. Also, widen the stripes to about like the other one posted on here and use a more primary yellow (less green in it). I'd recommend either Corvette Competition Yellow, Ferrari Yellow, or Viper Yellow. They're all bright enough to double a bug lights at night!

Well since we're on paint scheme take a gander at this one. yes I know the paint it dull and there's no shin to it but that will change when its re-painted. I want to know what u think of the concept thought.

Thanks for the liking in my car paint job. The color is 2001 Viper Yellow. I kinda like the sliver and blue but don't put the blue on the mirrors. Here is another pic of my car at dusk.
Thanks Ken

Instead of the black stripes, use radar blue (purple) with the yellow. Don't do the headlight covers or mirrors though. Of course green with red trim would be nice too. Or maybe pink and brown. Sorry, it's just ugly. I give it a 2.
