Sunset Orange Metallica 3rd Gens?

Anyone have pics of a SOM 3rd gen Formula or Trans Am? Im considering this for the color of my next project and was curious what it looked like on the 3rd gens. Thanks.

Mine's actually Tangerine pearl (from the 2003 PT cruiser special edition) when I was looking at colors, the SOM wasn't too far from the original maroon that was on it, so I went a little flashier, and I'm really happy with it.

Slightly off topic, but do you have a larger pic of the mag piece you posted, it's hard to read in that size.

Nice looking car. I could make out something about door handles. Which ones and how much work to make them hook up internally? Any closeups on the handles?

Thx.

The handles are from a mid 90's grand prix. My body guy cut out the whole thing about 4-5 inches around the handle, and welded them into the door. The only other thing was to have the locks re-keyed and weld the two door lock rods together (they work great). I have a bunch more pictures on my work computer, I'll start a thread sometime Monday.

I dont have a larger scan of the mag article, but it was in hometown hotrodding, popular hotrodding, june 2006.

Ditto, brother!


Sunset Orange Metallic is a very sweet color for a Camaro. One of my favorites other than black.

Re: Sunset Orange Metallica 3rd Gens?

I knew I had saved a couple. Just took time to find them. How about a 2-tone?

Re: Sunset Orange Metallica 3rd Gens?

SOM?

Why don't you paint the hood black, slap on a few stickers, a fart can, and a 3 foot high rear spoiler....

On an integra maybe. But I wouldn't drive a car with that fruity color.

Don't like it at all. But I know you could care less about my opinion as I care less about what you think of my opinion aswell

Not crazy about the two-tone but the solid one is TIGHT!!! Next to black and maybe candy apple red, Sun Set Metallic orange is my favorite color!

Your right....SOM is SO fruity...

I mean...Not like it is a STOCK 4th gen F-body color or anything...Thing is, there was no reason for you to post in this thread to begin with. He asked for pics. Not everybody's personal opinions.

Ooops. Ya, sorry.

Just wanted to keep someone from making tasteless mistake.

But hey, if that's what tickles your fancy then go for it
