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... http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6409 http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6394

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!).

THANK YOU! haha... i think there are too many colors to choose from... "you can have a Model T in any color.... as long as its black" keep it simple haha. i think what ill end up doing is going into a dealership and seeing what they have and just go from there

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.

According to the dealer brochure it says that white won't be available until July of 09 anyways... I wonder what that's about. Actually July or August will probably be the time I get mine too seeing my lease ends on in August of 09...

White with the hockey stripes would be awesome just like the photoshop above.
And just like this one spotted in the AZ Mountains -- http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3415 |

White and black can be a good combo. Or white and blue. I had a white 84 with red hood and lower stripes that got alot of compliments. Only one I ever saw like it. I'm curious to find out why they're delaying white on the car. Some special edition maybe??? hmmmm

My only concern with white is, well I live in Seattle. And although the cliche of rain gets old. its true. I had a snow white 91 Corsica.... i think that was the name too, not sure. But yeah, from the day i got it. it looked like dull grey, because of all the crap from wet streets, not just mud. but exhaust collects on paint as well.
I had white in my sites after seeing the mountain pics, but i just can't do it where i live. |

My 4th gen is white/black, my G8 GT is white, I'm going for something different on the 5th gen. I'm looking at Cyber Gray or Orange at the moment. Of course, that could all change by the time I am actually able to get one. And yes, all of the colors look amazing on this car!
