No way! The color screams classic muscle car, and demands white rally's accordingly (in my mind.. see the link below, they do look good)!!

Mine will go to paint shop the day after I pick her up to have Perl White stripes painted on.

20" Polished, absolutely. That's what I got on mine.

White stripes with a beige interior? Not after Labor Day! Just kidding. Not so sure how well those colors would work together.

I'm considering stripes on mine (2SS/RS, Polished, IBM w/black interior) but the non-metallic stripes on a metallic paint might look...funny.

beowulf80 · 05-20-2009, 11:45 AM

I will say that I do love how aggressive those white stripes make Number 9's car look though!

JSOC_MQ1 · 05-20-2009, 11:58 AM

It is totally up to you on what you want.

I personally think that the interior would look better with the black leather and silver trim package. This set up would allow the switchblade silver strips to "move into" the interior.

But as I said, what YOU want is what you get.

I have seen the 20" polished wheels in person (on a black 2SS). They look totally AWESOME!

I have a IBM, 2SS/RS, Switchblade Silver SS stripes, black interior with Silver accents coming .... so I am a little bias

Me too! Can't to see them up close/personal. The look is menacing... so much so, the wife called it evil. At that point, the name and plate were born.

Couldn't agree more! Just picked up my IBM SS after having the silver stripes installed. The first thing I noticed was how the hood stripes flow right into the silver door panels when you look at it from the side. I didn't get pictures of the side, but you can see some pics of my car here:

me too. Now I just need to pick a color. Errr, I have ONLY seen RY in person, nothing else. I saw ABM and IBM on the HHR and an Avalanche, but I NEED to see one in person. :bangdesk:

OMG!! That is a beauty!! I will have a 2SS with the same color scheme very,very soon!!!! The IBM is an awesome color. I had an 85 Camaro back in the day that was almost the same factory color. Man I miss that car. Someone thought they needed it more than me and was stolen in 1993. BASTARD.............
