The problem is that IBM does not photograph well.
We have seen many photos of IBM and it looks like a different car in all them. A camera can not do it justice.

People dont like taking chances, so they stick with what they know.

If more people could see IBM in person, more would want it.

I agree with this.. hard to go with a colour when u have no idea what it looks like in person... photos are not a clear indication how great it is

however after seeing this color in person its now in my top 3

for some reason it just kills the car. I think one shade lighter it, then it would be a hit

Color is too dark for my taste. I had to go with the lighter blue.

BlemsBumble · 07-26-2009, 05:57 PM

It's classy. If not for ABM, I'd be driving an IBM right now.

Rocky918 · 07-26-2009, 06:24 PM

its just to dark... it needs to be a tiny bit lighter so you can see the beauty of it ... ive seen one in person and it looks fantastic in the correct light... in certains shadows and at night it almost looks black unfortunately

Needs the purple tint like the navy blue metallic on the 4th gens.

v6sonoma · 07-26-2009, 06:45 PM

I think it's a great color and it looks good on the Camaro to. But I have my 99 Sonoma thats Indigo Blue Metallic (basically same) so I wanted something different. I like the aqua blue also but ended up going orange. Truth be told This car looks sick in every color!

Nooooo.......That's the part of the blue I don't like about our '99 NBM SS.

With the early ordering material stating that IBM wasn't available on SS, most people didn't know that the IBM was later allowed on SS models, so they either had already ordered another color or just didn't get notice that IBM is in fact now available.

It's perfect the way it is. I know it's the color I want for hardtops, and it's even creeping up into the limelight for a convertible color combo I want.

MikesZ · 07-26-2009, 07:08 PM

It is a nice color...

gplus · 07-26-2009, 07:09 PM

People think mine is black and not blue from a distance all the time

omegaman · 07-26-2009, 07:13 PM

Personally, I love the color, but I already have a blue car.

Top Thrill · 07-26-2009, 08:21 PM

People till me all the time, this is the first time I have seen this color. It is awsome! I love it.
It is true the light will change what the color will look like and it needs bright light to realy shine.

myold88 · 07-26-2009, 08:26 PM

I think it (IBM) only looks great when its very clean and in the bright sun. Otherwise its too dark a color for my taste. Of course I'm at the other end of the spectrum with a Summit white Camaro on order.
