I love the IOM and was about to get it on my Camaro. I think the grey is actually very beautiful color and doesnt scream for attention but still stands out. I've seen the CGM camaros with black wheels and accents and they look amazing. The orange is great for attention and looks intense. While the CGM looks stealthy and like a bullet. Both are great colors that appeal to me and I'd be happy with either!!
Ps I went with black because its really stealthy haha

Just before I ordered I was torn between black and RJT. I finally went and looked at both colors at dusk and at night, then went back the next morning. All of the colors are different when looked at in different lights.

Good luck

This is a phat car. It's also kind of fat. Dark colors hide the heft. Go with CGM. I'm not biased

2SS/RS LS3 IOM with white stripes and IO interior takes my vote.

I do like the gray alot also. All colors are very nice. But I always wanted

an orange car with s white stripes. Retro 1969 BIG TIME.

What's with the big hole in the roof of your muscle car?


That IOM with white stripes has a nice contrast, too.

...and I see you have a chicklet.

Do both: CGM with IOM rally stripes. Second best combo after IBM & white stripes.

I say go with the gray. If the orange was truley orange, ie "hugger orange", I would have gone with that, but its not! Go gray with orange stripes, that would look really cool. I was going to go with that, but the wife talked me out of it and I went with RJT instead. The gray with orange stripes will be one of a kind. Good luck with your decision.

I had a orange car before (350z) Awesome color but sometimes gets a little too much attention. Depends on your personality if you always want the attention or not. I just picked up my grey Fri and have been extremely happy with it. You dont get as many looks as Im sure the orange would. Cant go wrong with Grey with Orange interior! You end up with best of both worlds. I also think orange strips would look great too if you are doing the strips.

It is difficult to capture on camera the true brilliance of IOM. Being metallic, it plays tricks on the eye (both human and photographic) depending on the light. In the evenings it will glow with hues of red, and in broad daylight it's fiery orange.

One might say they took a batch of hugger orange paint, introduced metallic particles, and combined the mixture with a soluble form of DNA from chameleons.

That is a tough one between those two... In either case I would go with the orange interior... IOM stripes on the gray or CGM stripes on the IOM...

With the wheels I have now, I would lean more toward the CGM w/ IOM stripes & orange accent interior
