Default Sunset Orange Stripes?

I'm debating on a sunset orange manta on my LPM SS just for something different. My black one has a small hole in the vinyl that seems to be getting bigger. Anyone know where you can even get a sunset orange or burnt orange manta vinyl? I also considered regular orange but i think SOM would fit Pewter better. I'm not doing paint because i want it to be reversable. Anybody have any imput on how it would look? I'm just testing waters. Thanks!

i honestly don't think that would look good. i think there are some colors that might look pretty good with pewter,perhaps a dark red? maybe a gunmetal color? i don't know, SOM just doesn't seem right though.

I love SOM, but I don't think it would look great on pewter.

I agree with them. I don't think SOM and pewter would look very good.

Just remember different does not always mean good.

The Sprewell Camaro had orange stripes on pewter, and I thought it looked pretty good. I think it was a brighter, tangerine-like shade, but it turned out nice.

I think SOM will look fine with Pewter, it'll be different than the usual black but I think you can pull it off. I'm just not sure that you're going to be able to find an SOM vinyl.

I saw a similar thread a awhile ago. if you want something different i agree with the Sprewell camaro suggestion. is def something to look at.. its hot ****





but honestly..... SOM does sound good

someone could edit the stripes on these to look like SOM.

it wouldn't be THAT different

wait durr you were in that thread with the stripes! Get the orange ones already, gordo! You posted those pics yourself. Be different. you wont ever know if som looks ugly if you don't try it!

I'd think IOM (from the new camaro) would be awesome too. i've been considering it, but what i was really looking around for was ghost stripes kind of. its hard to get ahold of custom vinyl colors...

Well... photoshopping it would be the first step to see how you like it. maybe someone can do it for you in the multimedia section.


and i'd stick with the manta, stripes can be too much
