i think your car would look more amazing if you put your bowtie back on, plasti dip the gold part or put vinyl on it ! I think it will complete the front end

not a fan of emblems or badges. I like to keep it clean. The first thing i did when i got the car was take off all the badges. The only one i have left is the rear bowtie and Id get rid of that if i could but there would be that hole there and i dont feel like paying to have it filled and repainted. IMO it makes the car less busy, makes you focus more on the shape of things, and keeps people guessing. Thats the look im going for. Thanks for the input though

AZ looks good. I like the clean as well. But some contrast is good IMHO.

Best dam color out there,my opinion. Not computer savy to post or transfer pics. Have pics posted in album & alot of them in my build. But the pics on here are all great. Would love too drive mine year round,makes me so jealous.

What do you all think of a heritage grill painted white on an IBM Camaro? My hood spears are white and am thinkin it might look alright. I can pick one up for cheap.

Here you go.

[J-Short]

Aw man, where did you get those? I tried to go through dealer, but they said i might void part of my warranty?!?!?

I see everyone is going black and blue so i fugured i would just stay all blue, esp considering how few their are.

MGP Caliper Covers is the company that makes them. You have to go with the customized option to get them in IBM, just select the color in the drop down box. They have some preloaded engraving options available, or you can upload an image for custom engraving, which is what I did. I can't tell if you have a V6 or V8, and I am not sure if there is a difference other than engraving options ("SS" versus "RS" preloaded logos), so I linked both options on their website below.
V6 Version

V8 Version

I am not sure how these would void your warranty. They are very easy to take on and off, so if you did have a break problem you could probably just pop them off before you take your car to the dealer.

EDIT: I see you list your car as a 2013 Metallic Blue. You may want to check your paint code. Imperial Blue Metallic (IBM) was discontinued in 2012, so if you truly have a 2013, it should be the new Blue Ray Metallic (BRM) color that replaced IBM. The colors are similar but BRM is somewhat darker and appears to have a gray tint to it compared to IBM. Here is the Blue Ray Metallic official color thread if that is truly what you have: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...e+Ray+Metallic

Hey gang - just joined the fray . . . proud owner of 2011 RS vert in IBM . . . are we talking "collector's item" yet or is there an expectation that IBM will return (haven't read thru all the threads on IBM yet). More pics in my album.

Ordered my car in Dec 2010 and took delivery in March 2011 so I've had it for almost 2 years; really lovin' it even though I've had the much-discussed issues with the top (currently have top #3 installed, hangin' in, fingers crossed).

IBM rules - I didn't even consider another color.

Look forward to future discussions -
