IOM 2SS/RS with painted ground effects - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This beautiful Inferno Orange Metallic 2SS/RS just got its ground effects installed after they were painted by the dealer. The customer wrestled with the decision to paint or not paint, but I think they look great painted. Enjoy!

Oh yeah, that is sweetttt. I don't have my IOM 2SS/RS yet but I ordered the GFX....I have also been wrestling with the idea to paint or not to paint or to even install it at all. Seeing these photos, I think I am 95% sure I want them mounted and painted.

Thanks for posting these pics.

I wasn't overly impressed by the GFX in their gray state (and still in the box), but I think the paint-to-match really sets the car off.

Thanks for posting.

I would never mount the gfx without color matching the car. It would not look right at all, in my opinion. Thanks for the pics. The car looks good.

LadiesMan217 · 06-03-2009, 02:37 PM

It might just be me...but I can't get into the GFX. It makes the car look too "bulky."

They do look better painted though. IMO.

Aequitas & Veritas · 06-03-2009, 02:41 PM

It looks gorgeous! I will be getting the GFX later down the road and now I know it looks even better painted. Thanks for the pics!

Dtowndog420 · 06-03-2009, 03:01 PM

Wow! That's exactly how I want my Camaro. The only thing I don't like is the rear bumper cover. I would like to see how it would look without it but with everything else.

GMtothecore · 06-03-2009, 03:02 PM

looks great!

chrisinlittlerock · 06-03-2009, 03:08 PM

Thanks Brooke, the pics look great. Its painted or nothing in my book. I don't know about that rear cover though.

chrisinlittlerock · 06-03-2009, 03:22 PM

I think its more about that rear fiberglass cover that comes with the ground effects kit. The one that changes the exhaust ports to square.

Bowtie Guy Z28 · 06-03-2009, 03:24 PM

Looks pretty nice, still don't know if I want the dealer to install my hood and trunk stripes....

chevygirl1 · 06-03-2009, 03:27 PM

Okay, here is a pic of the car pre-ground effects and one post-ground effects to compare the back cover.

chrisinlittlerock · 06-03-2009, 03:50 PM

Thanks for the comparison photo's

like the matching GFX, but IMO the dark stripes contadict the overall package(too busy)...maybe silver or white?
