I think that was sarcasm, m'man.

Wait up, emjay... Were you offended by my post or naming of the thread? If so, I'm sorry. I put the asterisks in my initial posts as a disclaimer saying that I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Sorry if I did.

I like Red Jewel Metallic in sunlight,but in the shade,I don't like it,it looks too dark.

I think the only one that really seems "girly" is the Aqua Blue...but it doesn't really matter.

RJT is classy all the way. The ultimate 2LT color IMO.

2010 Camaro RS · 01-15-2009, 11:38 PM

Everyone's saying it's not a girly color but I think it is

Have you seen the pictures of Tom Servo's RJT '06 Vette?

10redrocket · 01-15-2009, 11:52 PM

I havn't seen a pic yet that does this color justice.
You need to find a dealer that has a vet in this color, preferably outside.
I wasn't sure I did the right thing when I ordered mine until I saw it in person,
WOW!!!
Pinkish??? No way, go see it for yourself.

With all the curves and lines this car has, the color makes them stand out even more.

Yes, polished wheels are a must have item with this color.

Hope you don't mind Tom but here's his post with pics of his car and tell me what you think!

In the shade it has a darker more maroon look, more moody.

In the sun it's what I would call a Candy Apple Red. It glows.

Notice how the sun highlights the lines of the car

It was a $750 option on my 2006 vette. We are getting a deal at $295

Just for fun here's what the matching interior pieces look like

TOMSERVO:

That Vette looks awesome! Really like the accent interior pieces also

TheMadHatter99 · 01-16-2009, 12:12 AM

RJT is the only color preventing me from committing to IBM.

It's very close to my current Mustang color and is absolutely gorgeous. It does add a degree of sophistication to the car, especially w/ the tan leather interior, but I like that about the color. You can be sophisticated, but still have a huge V8 (or strong V6) under the hood.

Its the James Bond of colors. It's classy, yet deadly.

2010 Camaro RS · 01-16-2009, 01:06 PM

Damn! It does look sweet on that corvette!

Not Girlish. But certainly not tuff. I would say Pretentious. Like your trying to make up for shortcomings. This car doesn't need any help. I am not saying it doesn't look good because it does, but IMO it's not necessary.

That being said, I have a reason for liking and disliking colors for the Camaro. If I had to verbalize them that's how I do this one. Just my opinion. My wife disagrees.

CamaroSSforme · 01-16-2009, 02:33 PM

If RJT is girlie...well I guess I grew a twat sometime in the last 6 months that I was unaware of...Man is the wife going to be surprised.
