I was driving my dad home from work yesterday, and we drove passed at IOM LS camaro. And it looked so UGLY!! So I am changing my color either the Red Jewel Tint Coat or the Aqua Blue Metallic...but yea...no more IOM.

I haven't seen one in person yet but I still have my IOM on order but it will be fall b4 it gets here so I will keep my options open. I picked that color because I'm a Bengals fan plus I have had several blue cars, 2 black cars/trucks , 2marroon cars, 2 white ones and wanted to switch it up. If it looks like tomato soup that is ok with me.

It looks like Orange Sherbert ice cream...just a little bit lighter.

I don't think IOM is ugly at all. It could be a better orange, but this car looks good in any color. Myabe you were just in a bad mood.

And if not then RJT is really nice and was my second choice. I'm not feeling the ABM. They should have skipped that one and went with a dark green. imo

I'm sending my wife out to get some ice cream.

Its an OK colour but too retro for me. i'm not crazy about it but it is my least fav colour.
Sometimes it looks washed out and the body looks like plastic in this colour.

The pic of the IOM LS with black steelies on the Build Your Own page looks ugly to me. Much better with shiny alloys. IMO most of the colors look lousy with the Heritage rims. The only ones I like are RJT, yellow and silver. They should paint those things gray.

Orange sherbert looks pretty cool IMO.

I for one don't like maroon hence I would not get RJT and I don't like my color to be the color of a kids playroom hence I would not get ABM. But that's just me!

I would have to disagree with you on that. Heck I started putting one together and put the ground package on it with black stripes and it looked bad ass to me. I really don't need all the extra's I'm getting with the 2LT RS with IO interior and polished wheels. But for the money the LS with the ground package kicked ass. I'm not sure why/what advantage the bigger 20" wheels are going to make other than fill the fender wells better.

Maybe someone could explain that to me.

RJT is a classy, pretty color but on the road it is next to invisible IMHO.

The IOM is much more noticeable so that color will appeal to people that want the car to stand out more. It was my close second choice.

Ouch. I'm not the biggest fan of IOM but I wouldn't say it's ugly. It's just more red-orange than anything else.

This is the IOM we needed:

as opposed to:

I wonder how popular IOM will be outside of the Camaro5 community...

Yeah just as a pointer to anyone, the orange that they put on the camaro when you build it on the website looks absolutely nothing like the orange it is in person.

Unfortunately, it isn't invisible to radar or laser guns :(
