Hi to everyone,
After searching through a few posts, I have a few questions, please pardon my ignorance.
First what is an ABM camaro?
Secondly, I've seen new camaro's with a single stripe and a double stripe, just wondering how I could get the double stripe, similar to the first gen. Z-28's? I am soon to be ordering a 2SS, manual shift with the RS package. I'm thinking the silver metallic with black stripes, but I don't care for the single stripe. Also, are the black stripes a flat black or a gloss black?
I used to own a '68 SS before I got married and LOVED it.

Thanks in advance to all who reply.
Can't wait to once again have a camaro!!!
Cheers,
Kev

thanks gents,
the gm.ca site doesn't update the vehicle when you pick different options,
the gm.com site does. Go figure....

Welcome to the site. The black rallys from the factory are vinyl and a matte finish. If you want a gloss black, spend a little more and have a body shop paint them on for you. Only about $500 to $700 more than the factory option, but much more durable. That said, vinyl can be removed, so make sure you like the color/layout of the stripes before you commit to paint.
