I love my SIM! The only slight complaint is that the color relects so much that it looks like the quarter panel and door are different colors. I promise you they aren't but at the right (wrong) angle, they look different. The color is like that, different angles give off different hues.

I have more pics elsewhere so I can't post them now. I think this is a great shot. Really shows the lines and how nice the midnight silver wheels look when clean.

I've noticed the "appearance" of the quarter panels being a different color shade on most all colors. I know that they aren't. I figured it was the radically different "flared" angle of the quarter panel compared to the flat angle of the door. Kinda looks odd in some photos.

Picked my 2SS RS Polished Aluminum SIM the other day. Some shots from this afternoon

Feel a bit guilty for getting this one after having the 2LT RS that my wife is driving, but the more I look at it, the more my guilt is becoming an after thought

The SIM just pops day and night!! The Badge pic is just me messing around with it. It is not stuck in place there. I just had placed it there for some pics to see what it looked like. Debating now on wheather I am going to get some Rallys. Can't decide

so I will leave her clean for now

The Wife

This actually looks pretty cool...may go with it

Thanks!!

I guess I could have went with the traditional pick it up from the dealership and post some pics like you, but I was just trying to be original. Good luck with the pink thing though....

Don't listen to him dude. I've got SIM too, and I've been trying to think up a cool unique paint scheme that will work with SIM as the base. No luck yet, I'm not terribly creative or artistic myself. Major props to you for your paint scheme

ummm.. the pink one i was refering to is owned by a member on here. It is black on the bottom and pink on the top. Looks kind of cool. Not that I would do it. Well you for sure hit the nail on the head with originality. Doesn't mean I have to like it. Sorry for voicing my opinion. If you are going to go that wild you need to toughen up and take some criticism, your going to get it. What I was relly thinking is this guy just spent a bunch of money to ruin his car. Sorry I am such a conformist and just took delivery and posted pics. How dare I.

EKG · 08-22-2009, 09:17 PM

abrahmend, how much did that cost you? I LOVE the look of your car

anthonybyram · 08-22-2009, 09:23 PM

Got basically the same car except for grey interior. Love the SIM color too! Gonna leave the rally stripes off mine, just looks so clean without them. Plus it seems like everyones running them, kinda nice to be different! Congrats on the new Camaro!

Your comments after "Wheels and tires..." are all reasonable. What preceded it though came across as looking down your nose at him. I'd have responded the same way he did.
