QUESTION TO ALL YOU CAMARO5 OWNERS !!! - Page 4

*SSE 4 2SS* · 09-21-2010, 12:43 AM

I was torn between the IOM and the RJT... Went back and forth a number of times, and though it's my toy, I asked my wife for her opinion...She simply asked me a question..."do you think you may ever get tired of orange?"... Ok, RJT, and no regrets...

When I ordered mine, no one in the area had one in stock, so I had to go off the "make your own" on the website and SIM looked the best.

SIM, easy to keep clear and it was on the lot with everything I wanted.

I saw the RJT Camaro with Silver stripes and decided, thats what I want...not much else to it. I have alway liked darker(ish) red metallic paints, but the silver stripes sealed the deal. It was an impulse buy, I was actually leaning hard towards a Mustang, but here I am.

I love blue. IBM is a subtle color as well. It doesn't stand out for cops, yet I think it looks awesome.

SS420 · 09-21-2010, 03:09 AM

Ok. When I initially ordered the car, it was a black automatic. Then I changed it to a silver automatic (Auto cause my wife can't drive standard......but). I changed it yet again to a Cyber Gray Metallic in Standard. I used to own a black car....and unless you stay ontop of it.....it will suck. Scratches are easier to see. Any swirls in the paint will be magnified. I could not be happy with my choice. Throw some dark tint on that badboy and your golden. The tint sets it off. Anyone that drove the car home and stopped by the tint shop.......knows what I mean.

I wanted silver/black, and nothing else. after seeing it in person tho I decided i also like the ABM with white stripes.
IMHO the only color of Camaro that doesn't look 'naked' without stripes is RJT. not sure why, but I just think they look ALOT better with the stripes.

TaylorRyanSS · 09-21-2010, 04:34 AM

I originally wanted red, then was set on white after doing some photoshops of it. I never even considered orange until it in person and I knew I had to get it. It looks amazing in the sunlight and orange is such a rare color for a car now a days. Plus with the IO interior it looks awesome!

*Mindz* · 09-21-2010, 05:23 AM

For me, it was between IBM and CGM. Hardtops look better in darker colors, and EVERYONE has black. The metallic catches my eye more anyways. I saw both in the sunlight and immediately gravitated towards the pigment of color from the IBM. CGM is still a very close second. IBM I come to find out is pretty rare so I'm doubly happy with my color selection...

copper3000 · 09-21-2010, 06:11 AM

I fell in love with CGM as soon as I saw it. It has the black effect at night and reminds me of something Batman would drive. Too cool!!

Reaper1a · 09-21-2010, 06:39 AM

I honestly went to the dealer looking for black...I then noticed from a distance, unless you rotate around the car a lot of the body lines got washed out (at least, to me they did)...saw the at the time new SW, thought "blank canvas for any and all colors/looks", and this was honestly the first white car I had ever liked...the salesman REALLY wanted me to take one off the lot instead of ordering, so I was able to get quite a bit marked down for him to make the sale
