No...you have to go aftermarket and either get vinyl or have them painted. I'm going to go vinyl for now because I can change my mind and go with black if I get bored or maybe change the wheels or something.

Vinyl vs Painted both have their own pros and cons. You have to make that decision. PM me if you want more of my take on it all.

Absouletly now doubting here.

I know we heard it straight from the horses mouth but he also wanted us to keep it somewhat under wraps until it became official. Since I got your email I was wondering if it was actually official yet so we could be a little more open about it now. That was the whole reasoning behind my thread.

I've been hinting about it's demise ever since our meeting with Scott but just didn't want to cause any problems so that's why they've been only hints up until now.

BTW: For others to know I was one of those who was dead set on ABM based on pictures I had seen. I was like obsessed with the color. My wife didn't want another blue car and we were having....lets just say....heated discussions about it many times. Finally I took her with me to go visit Classic and see the colors they had on the lot. When I saw the ABM it was a nice color but for some reason in person it just didn't do it for me quite as much as the pictures. At different angles/light it was awesome looking but in others it was just to turquoise/every so slight purplish to me. So...I decided to help save the marriage and would go with another color. It's a great color...I'm not knocking it at all and others have their own opinion of it but for me it just didn't light my fire when I saw it in person. I then went back to think that my wife's first choice SIM w/black stripes might be the ticket but as we were leaving the dealership a VR w/white stripes came in. My wife and I immediately spotted it from across the parking lot. We both got excited about the car and loved the color combo. I know it's just the same ole....same ole....non-metalic Red but it's just what made both of us jump with the same reaction.

I then saw another ABM in person when we were at the FBody Day at the State Fair a couple weeks ago. It only confirmed my initial thoughts. It was cloudy outside and it made it just to turqoise looking for me.

Only problem with the Fair was that after seeing more colors up close I changed my mind like four different times. IOM w/white stripes.....NO...SIM w/gloss back stripes....NO...CGM w/silver stripes.....Hmmm.....maybe IBM w/white stripes......DAMN.....they just all look so good! So...for now I'm just sticking to the initial color that got me exicted....VR w/white stripes.

I can't wait to get my ABM... four more days and counting...

IBM is the one that should go.

Ya same here I think Im gonna have to sell mine once it comes in cuz at this time I cant afford to keep it...but I was hoping to be able to re-order ABM when I was sure that I could afford the payments...if the color goes I don't know what I will get... I think they should cut IBM that color is just too dark and looks like black at night anyways...

ABM is like IOM, must see in person! Amazing colour and thats a shame if its getting the axe. The colour is striking but if i had ABM, i would be happy, already so few ABMs out there and now its a 2010 colour only!
Myabe theyre brining out JSB Or they could be just planning some sort of electric blue or something

i think IBM should be dropped and redone...make it more like the dark blue of the c6 'vette....

i've heard that a green is being considered.

I would rather have my ABM then that Green they are considering!!!

Someone should start a petition to keep the ABM!!!

That is too bad, but I am not that surprised. I hoped it would have lasted long enough for me to order early next year, but it doesn't look good now. I guess I will probably go with Victory Red if there is no ABM.

and it is going away on the Impala too (same paint line)....which is a shame - we got a ABM Impala in a few weeks ago, and have had more positive comments on the color than any other lately..Just started on the impala months ago, now the plugs being pulled. Not given much of a chance, but I guess when orders / demand fall less than a given #, it goes away.

No formal announcement yet, but I was told if I have any ABM orders, to make sure they're submitted ASAP.

Also, keep in mind the Transformers edition is also drawing to a close.

I guess that means if you have or are getting an ABM you better get as much touch up paint for the future right?

At least I will have a rare color in the future lol..

Wrong- You can still get paint for 1950's and 1960's cars.... Paint will always be available.

I get so many compliments on mine. People say they didn't realize how beautiful the color was in person. So I guess that makes mine more valuable, like a limited edition!!!
