>>>I think that sounds like a fine idea.   I would probably be inclined to 
go for the Euro GTS paint scheme if I was going to leave the car (mostly) 
white, which would entail painting the hood, decklid, and bottom part of the 
body in Satin black, then affixing the Euro GTS side decals.   You could even 
go all the way and fit GTS riveted-on flares too?

Of course, you could spend a lot more money and have it totally repainted 
in yellow?   Or, for that matter, you could do whatever you wanted.   That's 
the beauty of a Pantera!
