Guys, please keep these color threads as on-topic as possible (i.e. discussions about the color). I've removed some posts to keep the thread on topic and so it has a higher photo-to-posts ratio. Sorry and thanks!

Yeah I'm loving how it looks in the shade! I think we will all be quite pleased with this color

Yes, I believe so. GMPP are all dealer-installed, right?

Those 21" wheels actually look pretty decent on the ABM, and I'm also starting to like that fuel door now. Not a fan of the hockey stripes though (I really can't stand that seam), and the ground effects would look better if they were painted blue. Overall, I think this particular car has too many colors going on... black & polished silver wheels, brushed silver fuel door, slate gray ground effects, white hockey stripes, all on a blue car... TOO MUCH!!!

I completley agree... I think if you had polished wheels, it would be nice to have the polished fuel door, paint the GFX AMB, and run Silver stripes and be done with it. Oh yeah... that's what I plan to do

I have decided to paint my own damn stripes on when I get my ABM Camaro. That gap between the bumper cover and fender on the hockey stripe is not good. I think I might even make my own design anyway.

This color looks great in the shade but in the sun looks too green for my liking... Just a thought

nah in the sun it shows a brighter blue! its when its light out but not sunny that the green shows...but not so much on the camaro as you can see with this latest pic under the tent...once in a blue(not the color, the expression) it will show a teal color in bright light on a certain angle...but ive come to realize that its not green on the camaro its more like a teal/light blue...which looks really nice...i was afraid of a darker jadish (more greeny looking) color which the camaro doesnt seem to have going on, unlike the HHR....THANK GOD!

I need to see ABM SS photos! I figure someone would have some PIC's by now.

I witnessed the ABM at noonish and 7 ish . When the sun was high in the sky it was very bright and light , at the later sunlight the hues seemed to separate to show different colors for each different angle.....sorry, no greens! Perhaps there was a hint of something that I didn't recognize as green. IMO if the green is there I can't see it or at least enough of it to tag it green! ABM is awesome !!!

Man that car looks terrible! Ya got at least THREE different colors on the car, that split in the hockey stick looks horrendous! Make the ground effects body color, fix that split or remove the hockey stick, and you have a winner!
