What color ZL1 you gonna buy? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My front runner is white, I love the contrast of the white and black. Originally I was going to try and make an SSX clone but with the heritage grill.

However seeing the SSX rims in person, they looked like thier is a plastic or rubber coating on them. It just looked kinda cheap to me. I hate saying this but that's the impression those rims left me with.

Leaning now to the polished rims and if they come out with a nice blue like
the ABM then that will be my first choice.

As you may be able to tell, I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of the replacement gray.

Okay after re-reading the post that I was thinking of..... I have no idea where I got the blue part.

I swear I read it somewhere!

I was mistaken and I will edit the post!

No problem, you just got me all excited with new information that sounded promising

Dmaxcc6spd · 08-03-2011, 01:33 PM

I saw this Corvette on a site this morning. I think it was called SonicBlue.

This would be my choice for color!

I like the way you think. I may join you on this.

IBM will return.

.......and............

If we offered 50 colors -- there would still be those who were not happy with the selection.

We try our best."

I haven't decided fully until I see them in person, but of the current probable palette, I am 80% in the Darth Vader Black camp, and 20% in IBM, if it has returned by the initial ordering date.

(Yay, I stayed on topic... for once.)

SS-screamer · 08-03-2011, 04:58 PM

I lthink that the gray, black or white might be the best looking to go with the black plastic looking ground effects. But, everywhere I look the cars are all gray, white, silver or black. So, part of me wants to go orange, red or blue (if one other than IBM is present) just to be different.

Ir0nM4n · 08-03-2011, 05:18 PM

Synergy Green... oh wait nope not that color, Aqua Blue Met... Nope not that color.... No ZL1 for this guy.

coolman · 08-03-2011, 05:29 PM

I decided on white ,but it seems like a lot of people are going with that. So I may go with Yellow.

camaroitalia · 08-03-2011, 05:42 PM

I would prob go with a red to match the logo. then add some black all around

OldJedi · 08-03-2011, 06:13 PM

I am going with Crystal Red as my first choice (if available) then red as my as second choice to match the red accents inside of the car and engine cover. Plus it would be my first red car ever.

scritchy · 08-03-2011, 06:53 PM

Really depends on the gray that they are replacing CGM with.

Edit: I need to see how black looks, I'd want some contrast with the extractor. A black Gen5 looks positively gorgeous, though.

lbls1 · 08-03-2011, 06:55 PM

Don't know yet. I am not crazy about the current camaro color offerings. I probably would go for silver or the navy (IBM) if it had to be bought today.
