I rarely leave my SKY Redline were I cannot see it. I would love to catch someone doing it..........I would wind up in jail that night!

Order what YOU want, not what you think other people want.

I'm with you on that. I park as far away from other cars as I can, but where it will be noticed so anyone coming out the store could be the owner. I live in a smaller town around 70,000. So far I don't have a door ding on my 02 Trans Am. I also don,t park anywhere at night but my garage.

By the way sweet car.

Camaros are bad ass.

Double rally stripes are bad ass.

Doing your own thing is bad ass.

Parking your car where you want, when you want and having no one mess with it means you are a bad ass.

No one has ever messed with any of my cars.

RJT, I love this color but my only worry is that it will look weird/old on a camaro I mean come on Camaro is Muscle!

IOM I love this color also, I mean how many Orange cars do you see out there None? At first they will hear me coming turn their heads and go WOW then I will be gone:P (no I do not plan on speeding by 10+ on a heavy interstate in an ORANGE car)

Black, favorite color but it hides the car/hard to keep clean..

I will make up my mind.

As of right now

RJT/Maybe stripes/beige interior
IOM/Black or white stripe/ IOM interior
Black/IOM or White stripes/IOM interior
Silver/Black Rally Stripes/ Black Interior

I am also to the point of where I am caring about what I want. NOt anyone else. As long as I am happy, that is all that matters. No matter what high school kid says "dude thats a stupid color" deep down they will be envious and are just flat out jealous and my car will be better than theirs.

glad to see you're taking control! haha

And I'd like to throw in my opinion on the color combos, too. If you go with RJT, I just can't see any stripes looking good on it. I dunno why, but to me that one just needs to be left as is. And with IOM, you just gotta get the CGM stripes... go check out the pics that were just recently posted, they are very nice! Black would like better with SIM or CGM stripes, IMO. The white is too flat and orange-peelish. SIM with black stripes =

but I'd also consider CGM stripes on this as well, especially to keep the metallic look over the whole car. And last but not least... go check out the ABM pics thread... such a great-looking color!

I currently have on order a CGM with a gray interior w/ black rally stripes; however, after reading this tread I am thinking changing mine to CGM, IOM interior and Black rally stripes. Could that be idea for you, it will kinda look close to black but will be easier to clean. Dect have you thought about this color combo and what is everyone's else option of this combo?

I went the same way. I really liked black but there is no way I will be able to maintain the perfectness of a black car. So i figure whats the next best thing? CGM. To me CGM is bad ass especially with the black rally stripes.

cerberus · 04-12-2009, 11:10 AM

sdill, how do you think the IOM would look with the CGM?

Ghost Rider · 04-12-2009, 04:55 PM

At your age, you need a real head turner color like IOM or Yellow. Since you didn't mention yellow, I absolutely would go with IOM. Silver screams Camry or Accord and no one looks twice at silver going doing the road. Black does hide the body and lines of the car. However, if you are going to get black, get the IOM interior and IOM rally stripes to match. That would be wicked. Still, my vote is for IOM.

dect · 04-12-2009, 09:40 PM

Hah.... So I called my dealer to change it to CGM after deciding that it would not be THAT bad of a delay and he said, "sorry your car has begun production!" So, I guess its bad and good news. O well, I will be happy with silver!

Just not as happy as if I got IOM or something
