I noticed that there was one out on the lot (next to a black one for comparison) in bucklwi1's pictures from his trip to Oshawa.

That color is Great. Best pics I have seen.
Are those the 21's on it?
And I do not believe it has ground effects. I have those on mine.
I am at 3000, and been there for a while.

I love how it looks in the Motor Trend video, really shows off the range of the color. Thought it was ABM for a second because of the brightness and hint of green in direct sunlight. Man this color is sic!

edit: Not IBM in the video but still a good looking color nonetheless

Link for those of you who don't live on the boards.

That is ABM in the Motor Trend video. That green hue gives it away. The IBM is much darker.

i ordered a ibm with white rally stripes and i am glad i did i think with the white stripes its gonna give it a nice contrast. this car rocks in the sun.

TJ91 · 04-01-2009, 04:37 PM

The MS wheels look alot darker in these pics. I want to paint the spokes of my wheels Black, that would look nice

super60 · 04-01-2009, 07:37 PM

Well as someone who works in the plant i can tell you the IBM with the Rally Stripes is my # 1 pick . It is a popular choice amongst my fellow workers , so when its my time to order , IBM will be my retirement gift to myself. Cheers

I stand corrected. That was my first thought but I figured it was too dark for ABM and since they had pics of IBM in the actual article I figured that it was. My bad. Regardless, I'm stoked about my IBM SS and can't wait till it gets here.

sspddmn · 04-02-2009, 08:20 PM

Ok this might be a stupid question and im not sure if its been answered yet but,
is IBM the same color as the Navy Blue Metallic (NBM) for the 00-02 4th gen camaros? Or is IBM closer to the LeMans Blue Metallic of the 06-07 C6 vettes?

Its hard to tell in all the different pictures for the IBM color. i have a NBM 02' SS and the IBM color comes really really close to my NBM. But I also really like the LeMans Blue they had for the 06-07 C6 vettes too.

So has anyone seen the IBM in person and could tell me which color it comes close too? Thanks.

Yeah, I figured they'd have video since they had still photos of the IBM. I was a bit disappointed, cause I thought you found some good video of the IBM!

But I'm with you all the way! It's so close I can almost hear 426 HP revving under my right foot! Can't wait to see pics, whichever of us gets his first!

Just changed my order to a 2LT Imperial Blue Metallic with the RS package!

I feel this looks a lot meaner then the Victory Red non RS I ordered.

SSmoke · 04-04-2009, 08:42 PM
