I got my Camaro Wed and I still have a smile on my face.

Sorry it wasn't me. I know what you mean about the car though I love driving it and it still brings a smile to my face!

These pictures are all before I did any vinyls. To date I have done silver vinyl bowtie covers, and faded gills (that I jacked up big time, wish I had Xmicros's instructions prior to doing those, Autotrim design does not provide instructions... LOL my first time for vinyl). So anyway I still have to install the hood spears from Xmicro and the mail slot faded vinyl. My exhaust should be here Wednesday, which is going on this weekend. I hope I can get it dynoed before then! The windows are tinted in these photos, all of them including the windshield. I couldn't tell you what shade right now, I'd have to go get the paper work. So PM me if you want to know. Thank you all!!

The complements on the color flow like Aqua Blue Water... it's crazy!! I get at least 5-6 complements a day, sometimes from the same people who just see it again. HAA! I had a begger in downtown come running up to my window yelling at me today at lunch, asking me how I liked it, and asked the name of the color etc... I was like WTH? are you for real? or are you one of those guys who beg for a living and pull down over 6 digits a year

Anyway lots of crazy stories as you all can relate I am sure!

And to all those who have recently ordered, or received your ABM's AWESOME!!!!

Yay!!! absolutley BE-YOU-TIFUL car! I am glad to see you are alive and well! lol!! Now all we need to do is get you, Jay71, me, and a couple other "local" people together for a GTG! Looki'n Good SummoneR

I still haven't seen ABM in person, but they're building my car in the next couple of days, so I sure hope I end up liking it. I really appreciate you taking the time to post photos for us have-nots to drool over. It helps keep the anticipation from turning into panic.
Cheers!

You're welcome BassGeek.

I think you will, The first time I had ever seen this color on anything in person was on my car and I was speech less, it's beautiful!! It changes color all the time, that's what people comment the most on! Can't wait to see yours too.

Scott (FBODFATHER) says Silver stripes on this color is a show stopper... I would have to agree, I put silver bowties on mine, and that alone looks amazing, can't wait to see the hood spears, I couldnt imagine full stripes. I bet it's eye poping!

THANKS CajunCamaroChic! Yeah? That's cool me too, people laugh at me at work when they see me standing up looking out the window at it, then I laugh at them when I see them mesmerized by it too.

Thank you kindly CGM DIVA. Yeah I was M.I.A., for two reasons, working 60 hour weeks and driving the car in my off time

Yeah we all need to get together soon. That would be great!


More pics this weekend everyone, of the bowties and hopefully the hood spears. And my jacked up faded gills... LOL I'm jealous Venom.

Silver's nice, but I'm thinking that my favorite accent on ABM is gloss black. You all will definitely see pictures of my hockey stick stripes this weekend.

Thanks! Just so you know, I put in the fades first, then the solid accents. I had a bit of a hard time placing the accents when they were still on the tape (mine started as 3-part decals), so I ended up carefully peeling them off the tape and moving them around by hand. Good luck with redoing yours!

Not sure if i have missed it, but anyone done the Silver stripes with the gray/blk seats? Wondering if the stripes compliment the color of the seats or are the shades clashing?

thanks

It is all personal preference. I got the silver, thought it complimented the wheels nicely and was not as over powering as the white seems to be to me.
Depending on the light it almost looks white sometimes. I have gotten lots of positive comments on my silver.

I went with the black, I like it a lot. Thought about the two tone gray but decide the all black with those cool gray bands that wrap around the dash onto the doors would look good and I was right.

For those of you who have not looked under the trunk here is what I found there. I ordered the Camaro Carpet for the trunk and floor mats too here:

FYI, spare tire is an option.

Thanks...and your right about the silver stripes looking like the white ones depending on the light.
