Anyone considering a White Camaro?

So as I've been searching for my next car, I'll admit I've jumped around between a few cars before I came to decide I wanted the Camaro. But I'm pretty convinced I'm going to be getting the new Camaro because it really fits all of the criteria that I want in my next car.

But selecting a color has been almost just as difficult as selecting which car I want. After owning two black cars, as much as I love black, I think it's time for a new color. And I've been really leaning towards white. With the Camaro I'm thinking about this as my theme

White Camaro LT/RS (or SS maybe...) Jet-black interior, with powdercoated matte or gloss black rims and maybe a red lip around the rims. And maybe black stripes.

I thought about it when I was considering getting a Solstice Coupe GXP. I have a pic provided below of it.

Then I have a pic of the Cobalt SS Turbocharged that I was also considering with the similar theme.

But I'm wondering how it would look on the Camaro? What do you guys think?
Here are the links of the white Camaro...

Yeah I do too a little now that you mention it. However I think the color looks nice, and it would probably be my third choice after Silver and Black. And as always it just depends on what you like, if you are really feeling the white then go for it, you will not be dissapointed (tho it may be a little hard to keep super clean if you are someone like me who has to have a constantly clean car lol!).

Yeah, After I saw the Silver SS pics from Indy I fell in love with the color on the Camaro. Never was a fan of silver until I saw it. It's definitely up there on my color preference. As sweet as black does look on the Camaro, I just can't get another black car. I don't want to deal with the maintenance unless it's a car that I'm going to be keeping in the garage... Until the weekends...

I am someone who constantly has to have a clean car. From my experience, my parents have two white cars, and they seem to stay, or look a lot cleaner than my black SS does...

Agreed! It's such a hard choice isn't it?

That would look sweet. I'm liking how the "RS" emblem is going to be red. So that already works out. I definitely could take the Chevy emblems off and paint them red too. And I never thought about those stripes before either...

Oh and the calipers will also be getting painted red too...

Yeah, I'd do black again, but at the same time as much as I want to, I'm like you and want to do something different.
