To sunroof? Or not to sunroof?

T-Tops would be ideal; keeping the reverse mohawk and letting in the air/light.

I was almost considering waiting to see if it would be offered on the 2011, but it's probably too soon...

I'm pretty sure T-Tops are now (sadly) a thing of the past. At least for the Camaro. What colors are you considering most?

I know, but doesn't the reverse mowahk just scream "put t-tops here!"

SW, Black & IOM - If IOM was HOM (Hugger Orange Metallic) there would not be a decision, I'd be on it.

Honestly, for me the color has turned out to be a very hard choice.

It's damn bright in the sunlight.

I agree - it does look nice in sun & aside from Challengers not many cars with a similar color on the road.

However, SW with painted on black stripes down to the end of the hood, blacked out tails and corners with flat black rims...

It's so close to the 2011's though. Summit is getting changed to Olympic white - wondering about that.

Also if I could get a Synergy 2SS/RS that could also be a game changer...

Yeah I've seen some white ones that really look good. Problem is, my Cougar is white. I don't ever want another white car. And I don't even have to have owned a black one to know how hard it is to keep clean. That's out of the question too. I don't wanna have to wash it every couple days. That'll get old in two days. Green just doesn't get my heart beating fast either. For me, at first it was between black and IOM. Then I ruled black out because of the maintenance. So low and behold, mine will be IOM. I've seen it in person and wouldn't have it any other way.

Good for you

I'm most likely gonna do the white - but would like to see the diff between the summit and olympic. I've read "the olympic is more white".

At the end of the day there isn't a color this rig doesn't look great in.

I also have to say if the color from the website (like your sig photo) was how it looked most of the time in person, I would be all over IOM.

That's all I'm saying - love that color!

I'd like it more if it were Hugger Orange but IOM is an amazing color as well. I'm not too worried. Both colors go good with what I've got planned visually for mine. One of a kind.

I love seeing personal customization, it's my fav part of these forums.

Welllllll... if you sweet talk me, you might talk me into posting the photoshops I've had done to put my thoughts into an image...

We've destroyed your OP, so go for it.

[Blakout]

Good point...






Basically what I'm doing as far as visuals and cosmetics go is..

2SS/RS M6 IOM w/ IO interior
Color-matched GFX
Black stripes down the hood, over the deck lid, and (if I don't get a sunroof) over the roof
Either one of the two sets of wheels in the pics above
Blacked-out bowties, retaining the chrome outline
Smoked taillights, corners, back-up lights
Chrome taillight bezel delete (maybe)
I might possibly get a "ram-air" style hood before the paintjob, but only if I can find someone to trade me an IOM V6 fascia. Mail slot + "ram-air" style hood = no bueno.

Oh, and obviously all the stripes will be more accurate, these pics are just a rough photoshop to get the general look on a picture.

Whatchya think?
