my 4 previous silver cars

Grandeos · 08-04-2009, 02:18 PM

I chose SIM/IO because I wanted it to be the closest to the Concept Car as I could get!!

And although before I decided to order a Camaro, I convinced myself that my next car would be black. But in my opinion, Black on the Camaro hides the beautifully crafted surfaces. Silver, being a light-mid-tone... allows for highlights and shadows, which really shows off the car's design.

I wanted subtlety and I know there are a lot of black camaros out there so I went with IBM.

I went with IOM and white stripes to match my dads hugger orange with white stripes 69Z28 and Im also a huge Tenn. Vols fan and those are my colors!

Aqua Blue was my first and only choice, I am doing it in memory of my brother who passed away, he had a 1968 blue that was pretty close to this color. I also like blue it's my favorite color.

I fell in love with the Concept which was silver so there was no other colour except SIM for me.

IBM 2 colors in 1 Blue in the day.... Black at night

mrcowboy · 08-04-2009, 02:38 PM

Went with white b/c I wanted a fast car, thats not overly flashy.

2SSRS_2010 · 08-04-2009, 02:38 PM

Wanted Black, but IBM was on the lot and 4 sale.

glambert1 · 08-04-2009, 02:41 PM

It was inside the showroom and I wanted it that day on the spot and I loved it!!!

JD2ssrs · 08-04-2009, 02:43 PM

I ordered SIM on 5/13 when I initially ordered, but seeing the recent pictures of white swayed me, I changed to white yesterday and order finally got pulled today, go figure

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!

Funny- My dad's '69 Camaro was white with black interior, v/top and stripes. Early 327 v/8. I've always liked white cars and now drive a white Chev Impala. I want a Light car. To me most new Camaro colors are dark and dull. My 2SS/RS is now at 3400, TPW THIS WEEK !!. Can't wait.
