Blacked out gas cap would look good with black strips and blacked bow ties and headlights...That would look bad a$$

Driving home from school today I saw a BEAUTIFUL Silver Ice Metallic Camaro...the sun is always out in AZ, and it was shining perfectly on this bad boy! I couldn't stop staring at it, even as I drove past it (might not have been the safest thing, but my eyes were glued to it!).

Later on that drive, I saw my first ever Summit White Camaro in person...I had debated back and forth between those two colors for quite some time...and let's just say...

The SIM won!!!!!!!! The metallic flake in it was so dang amazing....I can't get the image out of my head!

Good call!!

I've kicked around the fuel door idea, especially because it locks!! I've got blacked out bowties now and thought about black. $189.00 (chevymall.com)seems like a lot of money though. Would look great though!!!

Snoop, I bought a roll of black vinyl at Advance Auto Parts for 9 bucks and did the bowties myself. it's 6" x 6' so if it gets worn I'll just cut another one out. Haven't seen a cheaper fuel door though.

Shot of the car in Shorter, AL yesturday. B & W with hint of color.

Part of me thinks the rims almost need to be chrome to really give it an impressive look. Every time I think I'm going to switch, I see a SIM at Avis where I rent almost every week, and I am impressed all over again. Problem is I have never seen the SW in person so I can't put this to bed for good. I think from a distance the SIM can look dull. But when it is clean & viewed up close the metallic really pops & the color looks fantastic. Who still loves their SIM????

ME! It'll only be a week tomorrow that i've had the pleasure to DRIVE her, but she is beautiful!

Thanks Dune. I've got leaps and bounds to catch up with you though!! lol, I've got to grow two more cylinders to get close, haha.

That above pic shows the stealth bulbs installed too. No more amber unless I change lanes or headlights on. All silver or black up front.
