Just look at this man's car. Aqua all the way.

I will say that the color has received countless compliments when people see my car... every single person so far has loved it... even wrecked, on the tow truck, people were saying stuff like "Wow, that sucks! I'm sorry man... But wow, that color is amazing!"

Take that for what it's worth

Can't wait to get it back and drive it again!

Also, I guess it depends on how much you really like "blue" though... Every time I see an IBM, you really have to look closely to tell it's blue. It's very dark. It does have quite a shimmer in direct sunlight though, but for the most part it's just a very subtle blue. ABM just screams BLUE... haha

When I see IBM, I am usually quite unimpressed (although with SIM stripes, it looks great!)

When I see ABM, I am just floored every single time...

The colors like ABM, Rally Yellow, Red, IOM are going to get more attention than the darker colors. I have seen a couple of black Camaros, some of the road and some at the dealer. Black does not do anything for me. It does not get the attention as a ABM or a IOM would get, imo. Plus, darker colors like black and IBM are a lot harder to keep clean.

I have IBM with white rallys which is an awesome combo. I love the color. The metallic when the sun hits is amazing and is very rich when in shade or under clouds, but it is not easy to keep clean. Either way I don't think you can go wrong. I have not seen Aqua Blue in person yet. Good luck.

I was close to ordering a black and am so glad I got Silver Ice.

I am absolutely amazed at how easy it is to keep clean. The exterior is always shining. After 4 years of black, this is a nice change,

Plus, yesterday on the drive home from work a Silver SS pulled up next to me and I got to see just how awesome it looks on the road.

I'm not all about standing out, but this silver has gotten a ton of attention.

I actually initially ordered Silver, but then decided to change it to ABM or IOM, I decided to with the ABM. I saw a SIM in person it is a really nice car.

You should make a pit stop in Long Branch one weekend you're heading to or from Wildwood, I'd love to see your ride in person.

Yeah, I saw one about mid day (bright sun) and it looked a little green/teal in color.

I'll be driving down on Sunday morning. So let me know. Maybe can meet up on one of the garden state rest stops. We'll also likely be mobbed by people. I mean two Camaros in a parking lot.

ssdavidw · 07-15-2009, 04:06 PM

I think Aqua Blue looks amazing in pictures. For me personally, I don't like the shades of green it gets in the right light. It completely turned me off of the color.

I also don't like how IBM looks with white or silver stripes.

See the options you're considering in person if at all possible, they can and usually do look way different than you see them online.

BrianGriffin78 · 07-15-2009, 04:09 PM

There really is no green. I would know since I own the car. The green may be a reflection from something else, but it is always looking blue.

cstproductions · 07-15-2009, 04:10 PM

Now im starting to lean towards the aqua blue metallic, if I got either aqua blue or imperial blue both will have white rally stripes. Does the aqua blue seem girly at all? and does it really look green sometimes?
