If you get white it needs to have stripes. It looks like a clean slate begging for a splash of color.

I have had white vehicles forever. Bought the SIM camaro (harder to keep clean). By far white is the easiest color to keep clean IMO.

Dust shows the least on white, so it looks "clean" longer after a wash. Dark colors are the worst.

v6sonoma 11-03-2009 08:49 AM

White and stripes looks sweet.

IROC'D 11-03-2009 09:56 AM

And if you miss a spot when drying it -it doesn't show water spots. I love mine. I get lots of compliments on it. Most people say they didn't think white would look good until they saw mine with the black rallies.

bpoirier 11-03-2009 09:57 AM

Saw a white one with black stripes the other day,That car looked great. I wasn't sure how it would look until I saw it in person. I must say it is a great color choice.

futrocpd 11-03-2009 10:09 AM

i have seen a summit white in person with no stripes. it looked good just naked, you need to get the stripes on it. its probably what i am going to order or cgm

This gets me thinking about 2 cars I had in the mid 80's the first was a Grand
National that only came in black,I would spend 4 hours detailing and it was beautiful to look at but it did get dirty pretty fast,second car the Monte Carlo SS in white that car looked really good clean and took longer to look dirty again,I just went to see an RS this morning Summit White with Black stripes and I just might try to get it by this weekend,I was wanting a 2SS,but this will be for my wife.Anyway can't lose with white and those IOM stripes.

Black5thgen 11-03-2009 10:39 AM

When I pick up a second Camaro it's between either white or CGM. White does need stripes.

It is the easiest to keep clean IMO. I have had all colors of Camaros form red to black and White is by far the easiest to keep clean at least looking clean. Black and Dark Blue are the hardest. Now when the colors are clean they pop more than white so you have to have stripes on theis big beast to off set the plain. I have a whit 2ss w/RS, sun roof and black stripes. I also recommend the RS for the body molding color, I have seen the black and I personally do not like it. Ether way you go any color this thing is an eye catcher and you will have a blast in it.

I originally wanted silver cause my 95 T/A is silver & it hides dirt & looks clean longer, then I saw the Camaro in white & loved it. Then I saw one in black with orange rally stripes & inferno orange interior & I loved that color combination too. But practicality is taking over & I will buy my Camaro in white with orange rally stripes & inferno orange interior which is also a great color combination, easy to live with and it really stands out.

gregus73 02-07-2010 10:52 PM

I have always liked white.
Dirt does not show, and looks clean most of the time.
This is my 3rd white car, and this has always been one of my favorite colors...besides the synergy green.

looks really sharp when waxed too.

rad 02-07-2010 10:55 PM

White cars in fewer accidents than any other color.

very nice .But needs a stripe and gill accents to really set it off.
This Car is so very cool up close in person it would not matter what color it is really.

:chevy:Can't complain about mine!:D

TommyTSquared 02-08-2010 10:39 AM

White is a terrible color. Hard to keep clean, you can see lots of crap when it's on it. Anything NOT WHITE will show up. It's hard to get parts in white from GM. Most of the time they don't even have summit white, it's listed at olympic white or arctic white.

agreed! white sucks on all levels. learn from the "small" number of us who have white and buy black;) LOL










Just kidding:thumbsup: white is awesome! All the colors are great on the new camaro. however white seems to work well. take a look on how mine stands out among the others:thumbup:

My bumper covers and gas tank does not match the summit white on mine, but GM is fixing this. Other than that very happy with white, not alot of them out there YET. looks fine with out stripes, it's an open canvas to do what ever you want with it. Add any color to white and looks great.

Buelligun 02-08-2010 12:45 PM

Pros
White looks good

con
White doesn't stay lookin good!! lol

YOU SHUT YOUR DIRTY MOUTH!!!! We don't need every Tom, Dick, and Harry ordering white! :rolleyes:

SWHCPA 02-08-2010 04:54 PM

i have no complaints. easy to keep clean. stays looking clean the longest. a blank canvas for any color and style of striping packages. everybody stares and rubbernecks when you drive by.

Pros: White does not show swirl marks that will come with a dark color
Cons: White show dirt immediatlely

wayner 02-08-2010 06:01 PM

I plan on ordering a white convertible with a tan top and painted gold stripes and tan interior.

Mark A Collier Sr 02-08-2010 06:06 PM

It is simple to clean! a 5 minute wipe down when I put her in the garage. Everyone tells me they never thought the white would look so clean. I had the first one at my dealer and they loved it!

Eski7399 02-08-2010 06:10 PM

Horrible color choice. Not for everyone. Least popular, ladies hate it...your dog will disown you.

BUYER BEWARE!

SamIyam 02-08-2010 11:47 PM

It sucks so bad... I bought one.

In fact, I've owned 7 white cars... and hated them all.

Ravirn 02-09-2010 01:06 AM

SummoneR 02-09-2010 02:36 AM

White was my second choice, but it was not available when I ordered my ABM, had it been I probably would have got white, and done full black rally stripes and blacked out the front and rear, OMG it looks amazing!! White even sumimit white is super clean its soo bright that when it gets dirty it just looks white, then you wash it and it's like WOW look how White it really is. I had a 2003 GMC Sierra that was Summit white, I loved it!!

BRITCAM5 02-09-2010 08:51 AM

Hi! It was my first white car and I must say it is an awesome color! I get so many great comments not just on the car of course but the color too! People always say they never thought white would look so amazingly awesome especially with the black stripes!

buzzy56 02-09-2010 09:02 AM

you wont like white- REALLY
 
If you buy white you will regret it for sure!Every dog in the neighborhood will visit you each day.(TIRE DRESSING NOT NEEDED),If you know what I mean!You will blend in with the snow,so no one will see you.:thumbdown:You don't want that do you?You want to be seen,bright colors right.:headbang:White will be to low profile for you.SO DEFINITELY STAY AWAY FROM WHITE.THE WORSE COLOR YOU COULD CHOOSE!!!!! :sm0:
