The yellow donut in the trunk is the most hideous thing in our car. Anyone out there thinking about painting it?

it's just a donut. why would you bother unless you plan on getting a lot of flats in the near future. save your time and hope you never have to bring it out.

No. I never see it. Will most likely never put it on myself.

I should actually just take it out of the trunk, save me some gas by having less weight in the car, and having AAA tow me if I ever blow a tire...

I'm too lazy myself to evey do anyting like this. I started painting my computer case about a year ago and it's still not finish.

It's not always as easy or convenient as it may seem. I once waited over 6 hours for a Lexus Roadside Assistance tow and I was standed in the middle of the afternoon in Washington, D.C., so it wasn't like I was out in the "boondocks." That was in 2004, and I still have the $50 traveler's check they gave me for my inconvenience.

Eh, I thought about it, but I will never see it anyway. I wouldnt even put it on myself anyway, so I really wont see it.

Im a Road assistance kind of guy so im thinking of gettin it out and put someting else more usefull. But you can paint it if thats what you want. after all its your car play with it all you want.

never opened it to look? does it have enough room for a full size spare? if you are looking for show then i think this is a better route.

I'm deffinitely painting mine. Last week some how I got a flat and the hole was in the sidewall and couldn't get fixed. I ordered a new tire from discounttiredirect.com but it was sold out in most of the US and took almost a week to come from AZ. I was driving for a week (untill today) with that ugly looking yellow spare. It would look much better if it was black.

I think it's yellow for a reason. I know if I ever have to throw that thing on, I'm going to make sure I get the regular tire fixed as soon as possible and back on the car.

Painting it was the second thing that crossed my mind when I saw it, the first thing was, "$40K car and it doesn't even come with a full size spare!!!"

I agree they probably made it ugly so you get the other tire fixed asap.

i agree. Its just a spare, i'd leave it alone.
