Caterpillars are yellow because yellow shows cracks. ANd cars that get tracked, develop some cracks eventually....

Most of the track cars I've built have had that done. Makes cleaning way easier...

I usually also put in a flat black light baffle across the top of the dash if its a car where the factory dash is removed... I make them out of ABS plastic. Use the black roll bar padding to keep the roll bar near the windshield from reflecting in the glass.
