I promised I was Not going to make one of these.



This decision will never end..

I'm sure you already know what it is! COLORRRR DECISION!

So, right now I have Silver/Black Rally stripes. I love SIM but I am just worried about it not having the "head turn" effect as much as a different color. I want people to notice my car. I don't want it to dissolve in that boring sea of whites/grey/silver/

A color I have on my mind is Black/White Stripes/ Maybe IO Interior. Now, I LOVe this color combo I think it looks amazing. But I am worried about keeping it clean. It looks great only for so long!:(

Inferno Orange.. Man, this color looks better and better every time I see it. My only problem is that it will look too.... Fruity? Or something. No offense to you guys that are getting it. I love the color but I just don't wanna be seen as fruity consdering I am still in high school and everyone thinks anything different is fruity, you know? Haha. I love IOM but I am worried about people also thinking I want too much attention.

Red Jewel Tintcoat, I have seen this color in person and it looked amazing also. I love how it looks in direct sunlight and I think it makes the camaro look great. But my problem with it is that it looks a little. Old? Like a 25+ person would get that color with Beige Interior. Thoughts?

Well, that's my problem and wondering if anyone could help me.

Thanks!

Attention Whore


In my opinion: silver will turn some heads but it will be unnoticed because almost every other car out there is Silver

all of the people who say IOM is Fruity have never seen the the color.

Of the colours you listed, I'd go with the Red Jewel. I like black but it seems to hide too much of the details (and not enough of the dirt). Orange is too 'loud' for me. But, unless you're buying a car for me, get what you want.

btw, 25+ is old now? Good thing I'm still young then ...

Why should you give a crap about what other people think of your car? It's your car, not theirs. If you like orange, go with it.

Haha, well I meant not for a 16 year old. I mean, I love that color. I really do. It was my original color choice. With or without black stripe with what color interior? Beige?

I understand this point however, I care more about other peoples opnions than my own. No matter how much I love a certain something if someone hates it I will just be like oh.. You know?

Dect --

you mention that IOM may be seen as 'fruity' --

You are young -- no matter what you choose, there will always be those who, for one reason or another make statements like that.

You cannot live your life worrying about what "some" people may say.

Let me assure you -- Inferno Orange Metallic is NOT 'fruity" -- nor is ANYTHING "Camaro" fruity!

You need to choose what SPEAKS to you!

.....and have the courage to ignore whatever people may say.

Great advice Fbodfather. I can't believe you replied to one of MY OWN threads:P

I guess fruity is not the correct word. Of course the camaro is the best muscle car out there, in my opinion. I know that whatever color I pick at least one person will not like it. Nothing can please everyone.

I just wish I could see these colors in person. Oh the thrill of preordering a car!
