Colour change again

My wife had originally wanted her ZL1 vert in crystal red. We went by our dealer a couple of weeks ago to look at the Camaros in the different colours. There was an ashen grey SS next to a crystal red RS. She immediately said she wanted the grey.

Fast forward to today. We went to the dealer to pick up our Avalanche after some warranty work was done. They had a crystal red SS out front and the sun hit it just right. She is back to crystal red.

As soon as my dealer finds out his 2013 allocation, we're ordering the car.

Great read on colors, they all can have a certain attraction. In my minds eye they all look great on the ZL1. Theres not a bad pick of the litter in my perspective.

That's what we did a few weeks ago when she picked the grey. They had every colour in stock in several models (no ZL1 yet). I guess it was the way the CRT SS was parked yesterday that convinced her she really wants the CRT. We will be ordering it with the standard black wheels.

SSTG - Had she stuck with the grey it would have been ordered with black wheels and black hood insert. Your car looks great.
