Yeah I want mine to be subtle, stealthy is a good word. I saw this video and decided this is what I wanted.

neoIBM · 03-24-2010, 10:28 PM

I fought hard on trying to make my mind up on plain IBM or with CGM strips. If I ever get strips thats the color they will be. Cant wait to se more pics when you get them bigd1276.

bigd1276 · 03-24-2010, 10:38 PM

I know what you're saying. I originally planned on keeping my Camaro stripe-less. But it's just too damn much blue. I knew that white was just too overpowering. Silver was ok but still too overpowering. It was between black and cgm. After seeing this video and some other members pics I knew it was CGM for me.

JT · 03-26-2010, 06:36 AM

Decisions Decisions....I had the same conflict and ended up with IBM w/ Silver just because I wanted it to be more bold. That was about 3 weeks ago. It should be today or tomorrow that it comes rolling in. I love the anticipation. Pictures will follow in a few days...Maybe today? I told the dealer I am off today and would even help them take it off the truck if they needed any help.

I didn't even think of the rural midwest and bugs, but honestly I don't plan on having it out that often. My 93 Z-28 will still be my daily driver. Hopefully I won't be spending hours after my Sunday drives with tar and bug remover like I had to do on past cars. I agree about the lines popping more with the IBM too. I saw enough running around VA of the Summit White before I deployed and I wasn't impressed with the detail of the lines it provided, but still love the White W/IBM stripes combo idea, just like the IBM more I "think"... LOL Plenty of time to make up my mind though.

Where from Dunk? I grew up in Farmington and while I am currently stationed in Hawaii, my parents and a few friends still live back that way, so I visit when I can. Should be getting my IBM soon thanks to CamaroScotty, once I saw the color in person, yeah that was the end of indecision. Take care over there, then come home and enjoy all the fun!

Edge.128 · 03-26-2010, 12:59 PM

I really like a darker silver or cyber grey for the stripes.

bigd1276 · 03-26-2010, 03:18 PM

Anyone with IBM tried putting side gills on? Just wondering if the glossy black would stand out at all on such a dark color.

Edge.128 · 03-26-2010, 04:21 PM

i think people are putting chrome style on the gills. that is about the only thing that would stand out and look ok. most other colors wouldn't stand out since the car is so dark.

bkscott · 03-29-2010, 12:57 PM

Dude Your is sweet.Your car is what is making my decision harder to choose from. Black or Blue. I do want to buy those gills and door handles though. Where did you get those from?
I like crome and think it really stands out on black and blue.I also am old school though.

Nitehawke50 · 03-29-2010, 04:54 PM

Here's a few pictures of my 2TL/RS that I picked up a few weeks ago. I see way to many yellow and red ones out there on the road. This is the best color!!!

*GTAHVIT* · 03-31-2010, 03:20 PM

Add me to the group.

Washed mine last night. Will upload pics tomorrow.

bigd1276 · 03-31-2010, 10:38 PM

I'm waiting to get my damn stripes put on. They arrived Fed Ex yesterday, just have to wait for the local detailer to fit me in.

zebra · 03-31-2010, 10:47 PM

is it just me, or does this pic deserve a random repost?

bigd1276 · 03-31-2010, 11:06 PM

Wow! That's a blast from the past. CynAgain do you still have those sexy boots?
