II wound up ordering CGM. However, I really went around and around. Originally wanted SIM, but later thought the color to plain, maybe because that is what is featured in all of the marketing material. I really liked both IBM and IOM, but don't want too bright a car since I have a lead foot by nature and don't want a cop magnet. Even the colors I didn't initially like look awesome in person. Can any color make this car look bad?

I wound up going with CGM. The paint is awesome in person.

Now for deciding on the stripes...

I went along with my husband's first pick, IOM. He chose it because he is old school Camaro--orange was the color. I don't regret it one bit. It's gorgeous.

hahaha...yeah...something like that

IOM, first it was Yellow, as I have been driving a yellow car/truck for 7 years, THEN Transformers came out, after the second movie I changed my mind, as SO many people will get them just because of that, but I like, no, I LOVE bright colors, and once I saw IOM up close and in person, it was a done deal. I liked it so much, I passed on an ABM outfitted EXACTLY as if I had ordered it, and ordered my IOM.

We ordered an IOM. My dad had a '69 SS orange w/ black stripes with a black hard top when I was 2. Second choice was RJT w/ black stripes.

Blue is my favorite color so it was a toss between the two blues but Aqua won!

When I first started looking every other car was black. My '90 IROC was black. Good color for Colorado way too hot for Texas! 1st I considered the ABM or IBM. Both were amazing up close. Then I saw that the summit white was coming out and fell in love. I had an 85 Z-28 that was white, with the red/orange trim around the bottom. The Summit white with the black rally stripes reminds me of that car and fun times!!!

Because my dad's '69 Camaro is red with black stripes. Even though his is Garnet Red which is darker than my Vic Red, I can't wait for my brother to finish repainting it so I can see them together!

Immediate availability of my 2LT RS back in late May. I considered ordering an IOM with Interior Accent package but the then-looming GM bankruptcy made me go for the SIM at my Dealer versus the long wait perhaps through the entire summer.

I don't regret the SIM at all - I think it shows the Camaro's design lines very well and has contrasts of silver and grey depending on how light hits it. Adding the Dark Charcoal hood spears, trunk blackout and emblems has made this my own unique ride...

I really liked the Yellow, as that it’s a color I have not had yet over the years of owning vehicles, however, over the last few years, I have enjoyed going to Buffalo Bandits Lacrosse Games. I have become a very big fan of the Buffalo Bandits. The Bandits colors are Orange, Purple and Black. So, I am switching from wanting the yellow to getting the IOM with the Black Rally Stripe package.
