I want to paint my car, and I am considering yellow. Im just afraid of the cop thing plus the fact that I lost my license 4 a year. I do like yellow and some reds.

Yellow sucks as far as grabbing attention from cops...especially a bright yellow. People say they can see my car miles down the road because it's so bright. And I get pulled over a ton, for stupid stuff. But at times, it's cool, because it really does look good in my opinion, and it gets attention from everyone, not just cops.
 But you couldn't pay me to paint another one of my cars yellow...I can't stand the cop attention. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

red stands out more than any other color.
but serouisly though, dont worry about that thing with cops. they wont pull u over just becuase ur car is a certain color. u have to be doing something wrong first. but im coomers case... they are jealus lol

lol nice.. ive owned both yellow and red (yellow focus hatch) and i can say that ive never been singled out ever in either of my cars. also its good to note that i drove like a nut in that focus because i was young and ignorant, so i dont think yellow in itself really singles you out to cops...

Now that I think about it, it's not that the cops really target yellow cars, but yellow cars are rare, especially ones that look like mine, so it's easy for the police to target me(and I think they do on purpose, due to the sargeant's hatred for me.) It's much easier for a cop to see my car stand out while sitting on the side of the road than a car like my red GT-S for example.

even though I personally hate yellow cars I do kinda like the celi in yellow.. there is one locally thats yellow and its pretty sweet, But I would suggest a darker color for yours madmods... for some reason the celi looks best in nice rich dark hues

yellow is one of those colors that i dont consider a real car color...sort of like painting your car pink. its just not ment to be, but you do it just to see what it would be like.
