SIM OR Black: Opinions Please!!
Hey Dudes, I am brand new to this site. So here goes my second post.
I will probably place my order within the next couple of days for a 2010 2SS/RS. However, I Just wanted to get a few opinions on color selection. #1- STRONGLY considering SIM w/ black hockey stick stripes. The main reason is I have an all original 1969 SS396/375hp L-78 Camaro. It is Cortez Silver w/ black hockey sticks and black tail panel. I think SIM would be a good match to display together w/ it at shows. I will try and toss out a pic. The only other choice I have considered is Black on Black w/ flat black stripes. (I think it would look sinister) Just wanted to grab some different opinions before I order. ______________________________________ 1969 Camaro SS396/375hp L-78 Survivor w/ 9500 original miles 2007- Camaro Nationals "Vintage Legend" certified 2008 -Gold Spinner winner Chevy Vette Fest Chicago |

I was torn as well but decided it was going to be black\black with black stripes. I love the subtlety in that combo. I going to go with the flat BumbleBee stripes.

WELLLLL>........
First of all, I COVET your 1969 Camaro SS -- it's just KILLER -- esp. with the original SS wheels!!!! Now -- on to color.... Black is very sinister on the Camaro - -BUT -- it's black which means it's hard to keep clean and it will show every bit of dust....... Silver, on the other hand: >Is very close to your 69 Cortez Silver SS.... >Shows every contour line on the body of the new Camaro - -whereas on Black and non-metallic colors, the contour lines and edges tend to disappear. Now - that said: What REALLY floats your boat? YOU are the guy that ultimately has to be in love with the appearance. (.........can I be in your Will for the '69 Camaro????) (........or, as my nephews used to say: "..Uncle Scott - -if you die, can I have that???......." -- bless their 'lil pointed heads....) |

I agree, CGM might be a good choice for you. After seeing it in person, it looks so much better.

I would go with SIM, black is a great color but it seems like a dirt magnet.
