Question 2013 stripe question (grey/silver)

Hey,

So, theory used to go that you'd get the CGM (cyber grey metallic) stripes if you wanted a 'shiney' black as the black stripes were a matte.

Looking on the builder (http://www.chevrolet.com/camaro-perf...-your-own.html) it looks like the 'grey' is now AGM (ashen grey metallic).

So, my question is this: if I still wanted a 'shiney' black, would I be better off getting the AGM stripes? or the SIM (silver ice metallic) stripes? Or just getting none and painting some black ones on later?

Cheers
Justin

Another option that you could look for would be to see if there are Carbon Flash Metallic stripes available (45th anniversary edition body color).

Personally, I would go for painted. The vinyl striping won't hold up over time and are easy to scratch and make waxing the car a bit more trouble. Painted also opens up a lot more color options, including degree of glossiness.
