I like mine....but its a "transformula". Currently in the shop getting the new T/A bumper painted. They're having some trouble getting the orange to match since they cant blend it into the hood....long story.

My car is Pewter and I love it, u barley see dirt on it and at night it looks amazing. I love it so much that my TA is my second pewter F-body. Its sleek and shines great and in my area (central florida) u almost never see a Pewter Trans Am.

I Love Pewter (See Sig) But there is nothing more badass than a clean black F-Body, I know because my first camaro was black. Pain in the *** to keep clean. I love the way pewter during the day and night.

Before i blacked out the center piece.










I have also since these pictures were taken stripped the clear coat off the wheels and polished them. I'm also working on getting the front bird since mine didn't come with one and also looking into lowering springs before summer.

I've gotten alot of different responses on my color. Not any bad, but nobody can really agree on what color it is at different times of days. Sometimes its brownish, sometimes its silver, sometimes its pewter.

*edit: I've owned a black camaro for 4 years and I'll never go back to black. Its the sexiest color, but horrid to keep clean, you see every scratch and its miserably hot in the summer here in Southern California.

I love this color, it looks great and shines great in the sun. It looks clean when it's dirty and ya can't see all the minor imperfections you would with black or any other darker color.
