Got my car.... my IOM interior came with blue gauge lights - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

To be honest...I hope mine comes that way. The blue breaks up the orange.

I love the orange ABL on the doors...but having the blue rings would really offset it!

+1 You may wanna leave it. Make the dealer give you a new one with red/orange lights and just keep it in case you wanna change it down the road. I agree with Hylton, maybe a collector......

I agree.... I almost hope mine shows up like that!

Cool. Sorry you did not get what you ordered. If you do not like it I am sure they will swap it but at least it is different.

MrGazinya · 05-30-2009, 11:05 AM

I think that's the moles department.whoops

SSOOCH · 05-30-2009, 11:06 AM

Yeah, factory screw ups are collector's wet dreams!

LosXC451 · 05-30-2009, 11:09 AM

You should go to your dealership and tell them to replace it I guess. It probably got messed up when being built

BLUEMARO · 05-30-2009, 11:13 AM

I would not call it a collector. It's just plain wrong. Have them fix it. Thats not what you paid for.

Blownhotrodder · 05-30-2009, 11:15 AM

Keep it, factory goofs are rare. Get the dealer to note that it did come that way and see if they will give you a credit or something for the right IC. I did notice that the blue matches the steering wheel control lights. Thats how id want it. But you seem dissapointed with the blue so get what you want.

It looks really good unless you just don't like it. If you keep it I would still let the dealer know because you may be able to get a car or engine cover out of it. After all you did pay extra for the accent package. Good luck and enjoy your car.

Yep, I do too and the comment about being rare is pretty cool too.

*The_Blur* · 05-30-2009, 11:24 AM

I don't think that this is a bad mistake. Regardless of whether it is a collector, this looks nice. What's the problem?

i like the blue rings with the orange trim, i think it looks pretty good.
and don't know a thing about collectors cars, so listen to Hylton

I can understand how a rare defect, that isn't bad (bad in the sense that it harms the car) could be a desirable trait for a collector. it's ultimately your decision, if you picked the package because you love the red rings, get it changed.

i say keep it
