Brilliant red metallic(and other dark red) Camaros? I wanna see 'em!
Like the title says, I want to paint my car red. I think id like a dark red more, but something more red than maroon to make my black heritage stripes stand out more. Thanks

My wife's previous '87 IROC-Z, was originally factory bright red, we painted it Light Toreador Metallic ('05-ish Mustang color)
It really pops in the sunlight:

Black stripes would look great with that color, just look at the headlight buckets as a teaser

That was aactually one of the pics I saw that made me lean toward a dark red. You have a gorgeous car, but im not sure if id pick that color for my own. Maybe if I saw it with more sunlight? That right there makes me wanna spend the money on a nice set of louvers as well lol.
I've searched but I haven't found anything on this, has anyone painted a third gen crystal red metallic a C6 vette color? I think that'd be sweet

I consider this Custom Rally Red with red pearl additive to be dark.

Its called a 1 year spoiler and was actually only produced for half a year in "88" on the Camaro Sport Coupe.(I found it in a wreaking yard and took the hole hatch that included the limo tint.) I like it because it blends in nice with the 2in. cowl.

17inch chrome TT2
also got the grey 15inch wheels ( 6 of those ) all with tires. think I'm gonna drive this summer on the 15inchers.
car has cost me a lot of money this year ( I think almost 10K ) so, just gonna buy 2 new tires fro the front ( bought 2 new for the rear last year )
and call it a day.

see my topic for more pics. TT2 looks good on almost any american car.

something that also would look good is 17 or 18" Iroc wheels from oasis.

take the chrome of the wheels and repaint them in the original iroc wheels color.
