I have decided on IBM with the CGM. Currently waiting on that tax refund to hit my bank account so I can go out and order me one :-)

I would not do it.

I am nervous about it too. If the silver ice could be ordered from the factory, I would do IBM with Silver stripes.

IBM with CGM stripes is not enough contrast IMO. Perfect example in the 1st 2 photos above. You can hardly tell there are stripes unless you are right up on the car. At a glance, I would have missed them had I not been specifically looking for them. The 3rd pic is much better. That's my vote.

If you're going to the trouble (and expense) of putting stripes on the car, do it so people can see them, right? Why else do it?? To me it is like putting black stripes on a black car. JMVHO

Beatuiful car by the way Blast. What do you use to polish it with to get that incredible glossy shine?

Those CGM stripes on the red car were way better looking than I was expecting. I think I'm going to go the same direction as you

I would get IBM with white stripes.

I am not a photoshopper or I would give it a try. The other problem is that all of the IBM photos I can find are indoors and very dark.

I thought CGM with black stripes was a bad combination (too dark and not enough contrast). But now you've topped it. IBM with cyber gray stripes (or even black stripes) is really bad. Whoever orders their Camaro that way better really like it a lot, because no one else who sees it will.

There are some people who responded in this thread that have decided to do this. These same people may think that your color choice is hideous.

having seen a CGM camaro next to an IBM impala and Silverado, the combo will be awesome. contrast may not be as good at night, but will be just fine other times.
