Is the IOM interior on the IOM exterior overkill? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

good Lord... it will look like a pumpkin! get a dark interior for the poor thing!

I think it looks awesome. I ordered IOM/IO 2SS/RS with black stripes. Hey didn't the Mole say this was his favorite combination? Anyway, it depends on your personality I guess. I really love the all black interior too, so I was torn but I needed something a little louder. The more I see it, the more I love it.

I'm positive after waiting on this car as long as everyone has, they won't be getting tired of anything for a long time.

For me too much orange.

TaylorRyanSS · 04-18-2009, 02:14 AM

no I think it would look great

What I'd like to know is, how easy is it to swap out the acrylic panels for the cloth ones. After seeing Number 3's pics of the black exterior with IOM interior I love it, but would like the ability to buy an extra set of interior panels and swap between the orange acrylic and the black cloth whenever I wanted. Anyone know if they just snap in, or does it take a special tool to remove them?

Totally perfect combo none better

*TAG UR IT* · 04-18-2009, 02:48 PM

Nope...not overkill. I saw it today at the Austin Auto show and was REALLY impressed.

I thought it might be overkill too....until I saw it.

I'd REALLY love to see this interior in a black car w/ IOM rally stripes. THAT would be killer!

In my opinion, GM offered orange to match the orange exterior because they knew it would very sharp. It is something different and somewhat unique compared to the standard black/beige/grey colors that most cars have.

On the other side of the coin, I showed the orange interior picture to my father, and his response was "That is hideous."

Ant,
IOM with IOM dash and door inserts with white seat inserts would be my choice...........but then its all a matter of individual taste.

I think it's an awesome color to see, but I wouldn't own a bright collored car. I don't know why, I never have, and don't want to. I'm too stuck on the dark (maroon, black, gray, etc). I am getting IOM inside my CGM 2SS/RS black stripes....OOOO YYYEAAHH!! GIGITY...GIGITY

I think it is overkill. I like the gauges and the orange around the dash and doors though and wish that was an option with black seats. However since it isn't, I'll have to go aftermarket to get those and keep the black seats I'll be gettng..

GMtothecore · 04-27-2009, 09:47 AM

LOL...Scratch that, my Chevelle is a sort of IOM. I meant for a modern car or my daily driver...dark only. Giggity!

Good question..I'm pretty sure you can pull them right off easily or slide them off and hopefully it wouldn't be too expensive as an aftermarket item.. The big question is if the lighting can be added to a 1SS later on??
