The car looks good with the stripes no matter which way they are placed, however I would definitely prefer to see the stripes go over the hood and over the rear bumper in the same fashion as Bumblebee and the vert concept. Also spread apart a bit more just like the concepts as well. For about $500 more I can get someone to paint them on and they will be exactly like I want them..

As for the Cyber Grey color, it looks different than that in person however that particular shade is consistent with that of the Dale Jr. concept hood which is also in cyber grey and under similar lighting. However in all the autoshows I've been recently, the ZR1 in cyber grey has been there and comes out much darker than that in heavy lighting in pictures and in person. I do hope we get to see a cyber grey camaro sooner rather than later before I can't make the changes to the color anymore..

I believe those are the midnight silver wheels that come with the RS package. It is that under heavy lighting, they don't look as dark, just like the cyber grey looks lighter.. Plus a flash was used on the camera and you can see the back wheel can be seen and is a little darker since the flash effect is further away in the picture below..

I can has that?? But mines gotta be white with lime green stripes.....

Well, I don't like the stripes, they don't go down far enough on the hood, I will have mine painted on by my friends body shop.

SScattergunSS · 01-14-2009, 07:04 AM

The Hi Res shots of these are great.

imo. any longer and it would look unusual

AirBoyzT · 01-14-2009, 07:46 AM

wow those stripes look great, I was going to get black on my IOM but after seeing the photo shop I think I am going CGM on IOM!!!

SScattergunSS · 01-14-2009, 08:05 AM

Supermans, you might be right about whether the wheels are the RS's Midnight Silver, or the optional Polished. But they still remind me of other photos I've seen of the Camaro's Polished Wheels. As far as the camera thing. I wonder if a person stood a little further away and used alot of their optical zoom, if the pictures would be more accurate (as far as the wheels go).

In any case, I did order the optional Polished Wheels...but I don't have any problems with the Midnight Silver. This particular wheel design would look great in just about any finish!

PYROLYSIS · 01-14-2009, 08:26 AM

I love this color combination. I think its the best we have seen. Still not enough to draw me away from black with red stripes though. (How about some pics of the rear decklid stripes from a better angle?)

Punk_rider · 01-14-2009, 08:33 AM

Is there a reason (i mean historical, inheritance etc ...) for the stripes to stop that "early"? I mean, GT 500-style stripes would be killer looking
