ok, if you are going to change colors how do you plan on getting under the hood and in the engine bay, the door jams, buy the T-Tops etc etc....I just wanna know, This is why I have always bought a car the color I wanted it from the factory....Black T-Top IROC, White Convertable IROC.

Though i'd drop in to give you a hand, I get called names a lot with this color, its a ****head test color, if they like it they are cool, if they hate it and make fun of you for it, then they are ****heads. I like it, but I'd prefer your color, she's only a v6, here you go:

thats a nice looking car, i love the color, im thinking about painting mine something like that...i had a friend that had an iroc and he painted it a very dark metallic purple, it was a nice color because from far away it sorta looked black but then when you got closer to the car and the light shined on it you could see that it was metallic purple, anyone have an idea what the name of this color is?

Are you the one who had like 4 different camaro pictures, and you had us vote a poll, to tell you which one to get??! I believe it was light green, blue, purple, and silver.
The poll had silver winning by a landslide... Hawaiin Orchid or whatever that gay name is, I call it purple, and purple is gay. Get black, red, or grey, period. Jeez with such an ugly color choice you made, you might as well get a gay color like light green or somethin... oh wait you have that already.

Are you trying to put the sticker on the inside of the car? Cause my sticker was for the outside. Just watch it with the ice scraper..

Man, you have a lot of pent up frustration dude, maybe you should go take a nap or something. Poor little bugger, he isnt doing everything you want him too.

Grow up.

Vortech, Your car should look bad *** with the black crosslace wheels, staying with the stock hood?

Purple is gay... and with you backing him up, clearly shows that you have a "not-so-liked" color.
