IF NO Bumblebee color is an option?

[JEFF2010SSMANUAL]

If no Bumblebee yellow with black stripes is optional will you still get yellow with black stripes???


I really like the Bumblebee in the movie but feel that the yellow on the SS Camaro is TOO bright.

Question: Would you still get the yellow with black stripes or maybe get Inferno orange with black stripes if NO Bumblebee yellow/orange is available?

My buddy neighbor says to get yellow which I like, but I LOVE the yellow/orange Bumblebee color MUCH MORE.

What would you do???


Maybe wait until July 09 to get white with black stripes?

Inferno orange
White
Yellow

????????

^As long as they don't make it look as EmoBee. That would suck to say the least.

And yes if I'm not satisfied with the Bumblebee package I'll go yellow with black stripes. If I feel that is too plain I'll get an aftermakret paintjob similar to the first Transformers movie Bumblebee.

Fbodfather said there are no plans for a Bumblebee package in another thread today. So I don't know how accurate this information is anymore...:(

That would go against what was said in the dealership IDL broadcast. If we can't trust the IDL's.....I'll quit watching them

Is it a matter of trust, or changes between the IDLs? Lately; there've been a few mighty quick about-faces at GM...

[Xanthos]

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it was changed. Personally, I just want the longer bumblebee stripes as opposed to the shorter ones shown in the CNBC film...

Ladies and Gentlemen -- the cost of the Bumblebee paint alone approaches what some of you would be willing to pay....that does not include any prep or the painting itself -- or cleanup --

This was the quote from fbod in the other thread.

Well Im going with what was told to us and that is that a bumblebee option will come later.

[Supermans]

Well, according to Fbodfather there are "no immediate plans to offer a Bumblebee Package" and they only plan to paint three of them to fulfill the contest winners as quoted above. However in the same thread he also mentions the price point we all were discussing for what we would be willing to pay for the package (which was around $2,000) is how much the paint costs alone without the labor and cleaning etc.

Fbodfather,

I don't see how it can be cost prohibitive if GM makes it a package where people can place orders thru the dealers and give a six month waiting list until you get enough orders. I don't see how you guys simply couldn't replace one of the lines with the Valspar paint and streamline the painting in the same fashion as all the other cars are being painted once you get thousands of orders. The cost of labor for painting should be identical to that of any other color. I do understand since you guys are only painting three for the contest that they have to be done manually. However if you can get 80,000 or more people spending $2,000- $3,000 for a package that is basically just the paint job on the V6, then you can replace the color with the Valspar Sunrise in the machines for the painting the same as every other car and do a run of 80,000 or whatever the number of orders are. So you can start this ordering process thru the dealers and give a timetable it must be done in (three months or a little more) and then you buy just enough paint and do a whole bunch at once. I'm not a business major however it would seem that you could do this and really boost the popularity of the Camaro as more Bumblebee's are seen on the road for the years to come..... Just my two cents..

Again, IF NO Bumblebee color is EVER available would you STILL get yellow, or get orange, white, silver???

Would you get rally yellow with black stripes??? Or get Inferno orange with black stripes???
