i like the hugger orange on camaros, especially the ones that also have white stripes like the 60s cars.

If that's the case people must really hate my brother and I. There isn't much love for BGM.

Maybe not a ton of love, but it's certainly got MY love. I remember one time asking you to stop posting pics of your car because it was making me so jealous of the color!

Your car looks awesome, I wish I had a BGM Z28 in my collection.

Sunset Orange Metallic and Hugger Orange look great on All F-Body's.

Not a "hater" but orange, yellow, burgundy metallics, and silver (pewter is fine, just don't enjoy plain silver) are the colors for a car/truck I could never stand to own.

I've seen some hugger cars that were really nice even, but my experience is the opposite of yours in that people freak out over a hugger car like it's the greatest thing ever. I'm just indifferent to it.

Same thing for competition orange cobras, those seem to draw out the fanatic too.

Haha! I feel exactly the opposite. Silver is probably my top favorite for these cars, but pewter is "just OK" at best. And I've acutally owned two of them in pewter, and currently still have one....only thing I really like about pewter is how well it hides dirt. Silver is a much, much better looking color IMO.

I agree about yellow though, I almost always hate it on just about every car, with very few exceptions.

I have to say...

If it bothers you, I'd be happy to trade you for a 2000 Pewter SS! I know... but worth a shot.

The 99 Hugger Orange SS is probably my favorite and (IMO) the best looking car ever. If they weren't hard to find with low-ish miles, not modded to hell and/or not a bone stock time capsule selling for $30K, there would be one in my garage. I absolutely love that particular color on that particular car.

Wait....I love silver!

^^Looks nice.

Yeah, I'm a fan of Hugger Orange myself, real nice color, but nothing does it for me like a clean Black or NBM SS though, nothing.

Black looks great on old cars with a lot of chrome and bright trim, but it doesn't do much for me on modern cars with black trim (just too much black I guess). Even worse are black cars where everything is totally blacked out....not my style at all.

Blacked out cars aren't really my style at all either, looks alright sometimes but most times I can't stand it, just looks kind of trashy to me a lot of times. But then, I'm not a flashy type of guy either, so I'm really not a fan of the way a lot of older cars look with all their chrome bumpers and trim pieces. So, I have to say, a nice black or other dark'ish colored SS or Z28 fits my tastes quite well

On most cars (especially stock or close to stock) silver just hides all the body lines and lets the car fall in with all the Mercedes, BMW, Civics, Accords, and Windstar vans in a sea of boring. I could have got a sick deal on a C5 m6 car for $10k (list price, I bet I could have got it for less) with 75k miles...but it was silver...I couldn't do it.

I like pewter and white, but silver in most cases falls flat for me. Takes all kinds though and everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Yeah I agree. I however think MBM F-Bodies are the best color available and the only color over Hugger... But I may be partial to my opinion

Mine has 42k and is spotless as well. People always ask me if it's for sale, especially customers and my friends performance shop.

Ha ha, yes I remember that. Don't plan on letting mine go anytime soon but if so I'll let you know.

And for the OP I don't know that I've ever heard someone trashing on HO before, so could just be jealous people or totally non-car people. Or they just really don't like orange.
