Going insane over exterior color choices!

I officially placed my order today for an IOM with black rally stripes and black interior, and I already am thinking about changing.

I feel like every week, I change my mind on a color and my biggest fear is picking a color and then hating it after the car is already made.

I know for sure I want the dark (black) interior. I really do like all of the colors, the only ones I won't order are the yellow (just not for me) and the IBM (similar to my current car's color and want something different).

I really like the ABM, but I fear that it may be too girly and take away from the car. I'm also not thrilled about how it looks kind of green in certain pics.

I like the black, but I think I'll get tired of it and I really probably can't keep up with it.

I guess I'm really struggling at this point between ABM, VR, and CGM. I like the IOM a lot in certain pics, and then in other pics I don't.

What color stripes would you get on the VR and ABM? I think I'd go with black on the VR and maybe white on the ABM.

I think most of us in here has thought twice/ten times about their color choices.

The problem is there are so many color/stripe combos that look outstanding.
I like blue/white - my third choice
I like Orange/white
I like Orange/black
I like Orange/Cyber gray
I like Red/white
I like Red/black
I like Red/cyber gray - my first choice which I ordered
I like Silver/black
I like Silver/cyber gray - my second choice
etc
etc
etc

My only thing is I don't want an all black car. I've owned a few black cars and I regreted it each time. I always wanted to paint it red or blue or something different.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be going with black either. This is a sports car, so I want something more flash which is why I'll most likely end up with either VR, IOM, or ABM. But it's really hard deciding between those 3.

VR, no stripes.

Classy meets contemporary.

And if you get stripes, get racing stripes from front fascias to rear.

It's more of a muscle car than a sports car, imo.

Black will look great with the VR. But I went with the Cyber Gray Metallic stripes, because I wanted a little sparkle (metallic) in the stripes. The black stripes aren't metallic. The Cyber Gray Metallic is also a little different from the white or black stripes that are commonly found on muscle cars.

But the VR with Black will definately look good.

Bah, i want my vote back...s'what happens when you rush. I'm ordering an IBM w Black stripe, but you don't want that color; imho, go with VR / Black stripe, you just can't go wrong with that color combo.

SIM with black stripes are heritage all the way..................but SIM with CGM is cutting edge and what I've been set on since I changed my mind from black......................but I just two weeks ago decided to go back to black!

What does all that mean? Well IMHO it means that..........the more you look at these Camaros and option, the more you will change your mind! HAHAHAHA! Yes, we are human and we like them all!

But, Mama used to tell me to stick with my gut feeling, and I'll be danged, I think she was right. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................... .....

went to a dealer today to look at a Colorado and HHR in ABM, and a Colorado in IOM. The IOM truck was in the showroom, unfortunately...but the HHR and Other Colorado were outside. The sharp lines of the Colorado really do justice to the ABM. The HHR didn't look as good in ABM...JMHO. I still think I want ABM, though.

Go with your first instinctive choice, every compromise thereafter will only make you think "but what if..."
