I don't know if I'm going to sound like an idiot, but what does it mean when people say their camaro is IOM? It is really bothering me because alot of people say it and I have no clue what their talking about.

Sir Nuke · 02-23-2010, 12:13 PM

Inferno Orange Metalic the color of my car...and many others.

For that matter, most colors are abbreviated on here. CGM is Cyber Grey Metallic; VR is Victory Red; SIM is Silver Ice Metallic.

*DGthe3* · 02-23-2010, 02:31 PM

For reference, here are some more 5th gen Camaro TLA's:

IBM is imperial blue metallic
SIM is silver ice metallic
ABM is aqua blue metallic
SGM is synergy green metallic
RJT is red jewel tintcoat
ABL is ambient lighting

*a TLA is a three letter acronym for three letter acronym

"prima"Donna · 02-23-2010, 02:32 PM

RJT = Red Jewel Tintcoat

(my color)

ABM = Aqua Blue Metallic

IBM = Imperial Blue Metallic

SW = Summit White

RY = Rally Yellow

Don't worry about it, the only color worth buying is CGM (Cyber Gray Metallic)

But if you MUST look at other colors go to Chevy's site and build one and you can see the differences and where the acronyms come from.
