Here are some shots of IOM paint looking cool on curves and body lines. The sideview mirror really shows the effect. It is difficult to capture on camera how it looks in person, but I tried.
Here is me in the car with both doors closed looking out through the new tint job - absolute visibility:
And last, but not least, "How We Roll" at EmblemPros:

The paint color is Inferno Orange Metallic. In some lighting it looks red, others it looks orange, but it some it looks pearlescent. It's pretty neat paint.

Some people hated the idea of IOM paint, they said it was basically just red.... but that was before it was seen in person on the car.
I think they were wrong. Cool color, cool car
I'm with the others on the gas door but I've never been one who liked messing with gas door appearances anyway (unless I could make it disappear entirely!).

Awesome color man! Very nice. Not feeling the fuel door so much but hey, it's your car. If you like it, that's all that matters. How does it feel to drive? I haven't had the opportunity to actually drive or be inside one yet. Bet it gets a lot of looks huh? You don't see many on the street yet, I've only seen two around me here in Austin. Any plans for performance mods on that thing? Very cool. Congrats.

As far as looks from strangers, I've seen it all and experienced a lot in 2 days. I have had ricers rev at me, Mustangs do flybys and not even look at the car (like they didn't notice it), and Camaros start to form a pack behind me in traffic. Random strangers stop and whip out their phones for pictures. I saw at least 5 people do this today. One old lady pulled past me when I was parked, hammered on her brakes, backed up, rolled her window down, and took some pictures. It's insane - I never imagined the public would have such a reaction to a Camaro. I guess the aggressive styling along with the Transformers promotion going on, it has hit a wide base. I saw a little girl turn around in the back seat and stare at the car for about a mile down the road today. I feel like Paris Hilton when I drive this thing and the public is the paparazzi.
Overall, So far I think the car is a grand slam for GM and they need to make more cars like this one. The quality is outstanding and blows the LS1 F-bodies right out of the water. I hate to say that, but it's the truth. I love my 99 Z28, but this car is on another level.
Performance wise, stock for stock, I think an LS1 F-body would run door to door with this car with good drivers. It has more power, but it comes with the con of more weight.

It drives awesome, but not as smooth as I'd expect for independent rear suspension. You can really feel the car's power in stock form, but you can also feel the weight. Visibility is a joke, comfort is second to no other sports/muscle car I have ever driven, and I have pretty much driven them all. There is a lot of room inside the car; more than you might think. I am 6'2" and I have no problems with room in all directions.

So are there plans for any performance mods or are you leaving it stock?
