Isn't the color amazing? I mean for me I had nothing to compare it to when I was deciding on what color I wanted back in June. No dealer's in my area had this color on the show room floor and the little print out they had showing all the colors you can pick from to me really didn't do the color justice. So when I found the Camaro5 website and looked at this forum that is when I knew the ABM color was for me. Can't wait for the nice weather so I can enjoy looking at the color shades it has when the sun shines on it.

I love my car

we were the same way. we have to wait at least till april to drive ours again.:(:(

Noticed on Cars.com that Berger Chevrolet has two ABM's that they are modifying and that Joe Basil Chevrolet outside of Buffalo, NY has a SLP575 in ABM. I love this color and was hoping to get a Z28 in it so congrats to those of you that got one.

I have'nt noticed any differences in any light, maybe I will have to look harder. The other evening when the sun was setting it was reflecting off the side of the car and it was sooo awesome looking with the orange glow.

Thanks for looking.

We are waiting on our ABM RS/2SS from Anna at Sparta Chevy. Should be delivered tomorrow morning (1/17). The wife and I plan on taking delivery and then hit the road for a 200 mile trip just to get to know the car.

Aside: The 2010 will be the wife's daily driver. Lucky her! Anyone in the Melbourne area want to buy a very clean 2001 L300 V6 Saturn?

In pictures, yes, in person, no.

i dont see any difference on mine. it may just be your imagination trying to find something wrong with the car when gm has done so well with all other aspects of the car!

but on a more realistic note. what you are most likely noticing is the fact that where the two panels line up (by the hood or on either fender) they are not on a perfectly aligned plane! this often times will give an illusion that the two panels may be slightly off in color! or it is possible if your car was painted on one day and your nose painted on another day that there could be a very very small difference in color due to any number of variables! i cant see any difference in either of these pics.

just gave her a bath

I want/need to wash my car because of the rain we had last Wednesday, but it's supposed to rain Monday through Saturday next week :S

My ABM (still trying to come up with her name) is on storage insurance in the garage right now, but it was 40+ degrees out today and sunny, so I took her off the jackstands, out of the garage and into the driveway. After some quick detailing (real quick because there wasn't much to do), I pulled out a adirondack chair and sat next to the car and knocked back a few beers.

The only nice thing about the cold weather is I didn't need to ice down the cooler! I rev'd her up for the neighbor kids a few times and talked to a few people who stopped by. Like my own private little car show...with benefits. It's the only car show I've been to where I didn't have to think about how much I was drinking because I was already home!

Now she's back in the garage again...under cover and back up on the jacks. Can't wait for Spring and am still envious of everyone who lives in warm climates and can drive their Camaro right now.
