Opinions, Good, Bad Or Indifferent "Accelerate Yellow's Attention" will not be denied by any living thing! It must have been an "OMEN" that a convertible was not available when I ordered mine!
I get the insects opinions all the time when washing it!

So I went to a Corvette only car show yesterday that had parking on a well manicured field. The second I parked my car and got out there must've been 200 insects attracted to my yellow paint. I noticed, as I walked around and looked at all the other Corvettes, that every single yellow C7 or C8 was also covered in the same insects. No other paint color had a single insect on it.
Are there any tips or tricks one can do to prevent the insects from landing all over the vehicle?
Six cans of Raid! 😆 In all seriousness though I don't know of anything to prevent it from happening. In the Black Hills I was parked next to everything from Red Mist, Sebring Orange and Caffeine to various silvers, greens and blues. There was the occasional bug perched on those cars but nothing like the flock of curious critters camped out on mine. Perhaps it's being mistaken for a very large and fast sunflower?

I think an Accelerate Yellow ERay may be in my future!

They are attracted to yellow. Only show your car indoors!

Same here, I have had a yellow C6, C7 and now C8. Different shades of yellow but the bugs don't seem to care. I can park it and within minutes there are bees or other flying bugs checking it out, walking on it - generally admiring this awesome color. Maybe they think it is a giant flower, but they sure love it as much as I do! Nothing is going to keep them away. I have had it outside for pix and as soon as I scare them away and get ready to take a photo, they are back before I can get a camera shot LOL.

Me too.
My plans to have my ERay be AY are on hold. These posts changed my mind. So glad I saw this. Thanks, guys!

thanks for the vote!
Out of all the shows I've been to so far, it was only the "field" (grass) that attracted them. When it's all been paved I've had no issues.
if I get an e-Ray or Z06 it will most likely still be ACY. I love being different than most of the other C8s around and it doesn't hurt that I love yellow vehicles.
Note: I contacted Adam's and asked them to have their scientists look into this and find something to help. They said they would pass it on but not holding my breath.
I installed my new wind deflector from Speedway Composites and I wasn't sure how it would look - but I think it is not bad and it really helps in the cabin, especially at higher speeds. I was afraid it would have a 1990's sunroof vibe to it lol.

Nice to see it did not have the red handles like the one I saw in a video. Does not look bad to me at all
Just took delivery and love this color. I can't understand why it is not more popular, its just amazing. It does not photograph as well as it looks in person, photos just don't really capture it.
For anyone who wants to recolor the switching in a 1LT.
I can't recommend the commonly posted Zig Fabricolor Fluorescent Yellow. Unless Marker Supply sent me bad markers these markers definitely look green, and do not look like Accelerate Yellow at all.
