Best Iroc color
I need to know whats your favorite Iroc color. And I mean original colors. Because when I do happen to get my car I would like an original color.
The two I like the most are the black which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34mAh2kYor8
And the bright metallic blue which can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha1BVdVSaWE
I wanted a 91-92 z28 but after seeing the Iroc Idc if I have the high rise spoiler(my reason for wanting 91-92 z)
Please post your pics if you have them and if you don't suggest me a color and I'll search it. I'm starting to fall in love with these cars and I cannot wait until I get mine! I literally spend hours looking at you guys' cars. Thanks and I appreciate it.

Re: Best Iroc color
Well three of the four third gens I have owned have been black, so I am partial to them. Black and gold is my favorite by far with black and red being my second.

Re: Best Iroc color
x3 on the silver. That's what I would do if I weren't keeping mine origional. Normally don't lik silver cars but the Iroc decals make the car look really awesome.

Re: Best Iroc color
Of all the colors I think Black is the most "aggressive" looking if that's what you want and to me always looks good.
If you decide after a while to use aftermarket parts like a cowl hood and maybe a nice set of aftermarket wheels its a good color to work with.
I actually prefer the Ralley Red on "my" car to any other but its custom with Red Pearl added and black Stripes also with Red Pearl.

Re: Best Iroc color
No sir, Mr. Ron. I love my Iroc in stock configuration, always have. I am a stickler for keeping vehicles stock if the factory does them right. I think they nailed it with the '88-'90 Irocs. Gen 2 Iroc wheels are perfect for those cars. Here is the link to my car, pics & video. Just got it today, but have pined for them since they were new. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Chevrol...-/391863421944 It needs some TLC to bring it up to my standards. All it needs is time & $$$$$

Re: Best Iroc color
As an owner of a Bright Red Iroc.....it wouldn't be my choice now. Bought it 19 years ago.
If I were to buy one, brand new, any color options, I'd get either Silver with Flame Red interior (like GETGONE), or Blue with Beechwood interior.
EDIT....maybe white with red. I like a clean, white car.
Or yellow.
Or mabye bright red with beechwood, like mine. Man I dunno. SOOOOooooo many sharp color combos! not really one I WOULDN'T want!!!!!!!!

Re: Best Iroc color
Mine is the absolute twin to the black with blue stripe & nearly invisible black body stripe above. You are right about black being beautiful when clean.

Re: Best Iroc color
No purple Irocs were ever built, to the best of my knowledge. There was a purple 3rd gen in '92, I think. Heritage edition. I lost interest in the 3rd gen after the Iroc was discontinued.

Re: Best Iroc color
I always liked Flame Red Metallic.. it’s sporty, looks super dark in low light, shows the lines of the car nice.. really pops..
I like Black and metallic Blue as well..
