I like it. I actually am not a fan of yellow normally, but what you've done looks good. The stripes break up the huge expanse of bright that would be there otherwise and I don't think they hurt the lines of the car at all. And I like the way you did the badges. With the paint continuing under them and following the bow of the H's, it looks more factory than if there was a gap around them (then it would look like vinyl again).
And while I do agree somewhat with what others have said about doing more to the car wheel-wise, etc., I think it's more that when people see any kind of custom paint work they expect to see a full-blown show car. It's not the equivalent of seeing an bonestock S-10 with flames and wondering why it doesn't have a 400 small block in it, but you get the idea.
Once again, I like it. It'd be one of the only ways I would want a yellow one. Also, I love your attitude and reading your posts.

Wheels are next I guess. Although, I keep saying that then buy some more small peices that I "have to have." Track days have been eating up my budget though lately. I can easily say that the stripes knocked about 2 seconds off my time

It looks pretty good. I still think the lighter stripe over a darker color gives a better contrast. Maybe white over NFR - sorta like the Stradale. But unlike the stradale - you shouldn't have to pay $10k extra for a handpainted stripe. Sometimes I think the rich are running out of ways to spend their $$$
