What about RJT?

ABM! oh yes that's right they don't have that color anymore... lol..

I love CGM but it seems like there is a really big difference between panels. The lights hits the color a different way on each panel and the car looks mismatched.

One thing most buyers don't think about is starting from the inside out. You need to pick which interior color you like the best. Ideally your interior matches something on the outside like your stripe. I was going to order a RJT with the dark grey ground effects with grey leather interior. Instead, I ordered a IBM with painted silver stripes with a grey interior. This setup really compliments each other.

IBM all the way, baby!!

The most difficult choice for me was the color. After 15 mins of thinking about V6 or V8 I chose V8 for my daily driver - only a 35+ mile R/T commute daily.

The 1st car I saw in a parking lot, I u-turned to get a closer look. It was an RJT LS Automatic with Beige interior and not well cared for. Then I saw a CGM being prepped for Rick Hendrick in a Chevy Service garage - they let me sit in it - and that's what I ordered (less the supercharger, or course)..

The metallic has blue flecks in the paint which add a nice sparkle. On a bad note, the color doesn't photograph very well. It's also a darker paint which shows dirt more than a lighter color (but my Camaro loves her weekly bubble baths).. Good Luck..

Here's Mine...

This is not a hard decision folks ! ....... ABM ! YA that's right, this is the color that gives ot all at any distance from any angle in any light during any season!! Nuff said ! Oh ...that's right, GM discontinued ABM. Not enough buyers wanted Aqua Blue Metallic...... so I do have afairly unique original.

So IBM then.

*Except where I am, apparently. Three ABM Camaros in a 5 mi. radius... not cool.

On your reminder - I'd like to remind thieves that cars with rally stripes are also easy to spot

Oh...and mine is accident prone so you won't get far with her before you get hit
