has this been beat to death and beyond in here or what?

black is the only color it should be, including when compared to the stock gold. all other colors look silly IMO. mostly because the bowtie on the front of our cars is so grossly oversized, so black kind of hides it a little.

If you didn't have the blue accents elsewhere, I'd say go back to black. But I think the blue ties in nicely with the other badging, etc.

Thanks.

Mines black to go with the accents, alot of folks match it to the car color also. Blue was the original color on the 1st gens

chandler · 03-08-2012, 02:19 PM

Go with your accent color...blue!

I personally never really liked the Bowtie. When I changed to the heritage grill I left it with nothing up front. The Bowtie was way to large in proportion to the grill.

I think a darker blue would be good. That might be a lot of work though to change over all the other blue on the car. That current blue is just too light of a shade for my liking. Go with a midnight blue or something darker and I would vote blue.

Black looks good too but I think the blue makes you more different from everyone else, which makes the car unique.

i personally like the black better.

I like blue. There's too many Camaros with black bowties.

The blue is pretty close to the ABM color but it's a little off. I figured it would stand out on the black and it does look good IMO. I did try a glossy orange and I like it as well, but wife said she liked blue and I am from Ky so gotta represent lol.
