Blacked OUT Camaro? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I use to like it when I saw it on sporty cars but now everyone is doing it and it's WAY overdone. When I see one, the thought in my head is "uggg, another one"

I use black chrome to help break it up. I think it works well.

I am partial to it also! And as far as I know, where I live and surrounding areas, I have the only one! Still needs a little more work done to it!

I was headed for a total blackout, but just couldn't do the wheels. The silver adds some contrast. If nothing else, you can keep the red SS badges and the word Camaro in chrome on the side.

I can appreciate a total black out. It's great to see a custom look, really no matter what color the car is.

I'm going for a partial blackout on mine. Black/chrome wheels (I just can't get rid of all the chrome), keeping the red SS emblems, blacking out the bowties, tint, keeping the red tail light covers. And probably going to replace CAMARO with black chrome with matching black chrome interior bits.

i love mine. especially when no one else has an all black camaro. its not overdone here, I'm the only one..

I agree with most posts, kinda overdone IMO....... But rock it if you dig it!

VaderSS · 06-08-2011, 10:35 PM

I'm not completely blacked out, but I'm LOVING the look with the black wheels and tint. I also like other colors (Synergy Green, Inferno Orange, Imperial Blue, Red Jewel). Cars are offered in a variety of colors in order to satisfy the tastes of a broad spectrum of buyers. I went to the dealer to buy Synergy Green. But when this car was side-by-side with the SG, my decision was immediate.

Big fan of black... not a big fan of blacked-out.
As a fan of the muscle car era... I love chrome on cars. So the whole thing of blacking out the bowties, tail bezels, and wheels. Nah... not into it.

BlaSSt Off · 06-08-2011, 10:41 PM

I find it odd that the ones saying that it is over done, have a car that looks like all the rest that come from the factory. I like the look of a car being blacked out. It makes it look mean and not like just another car off a used car lot like all the rest.

sucks

Kahdir · 06-09-2011, 01:19 AM

Looks cool, but very high maintenance.
