Well if I was going to do it I'd keep the engine bay black because that would just look completely badass. Old school, you know? And while you're at it, keep the rear filler panel black and get the Berger look going too.

My last camaro was Black and my current one is NBM. I like both colors, but nothing looks better than a black car with chrome rims after a nice wax. If your paint is fine i would not switch over.

I came close to buying a black WS6...like 3 minutes away. The damn thing sold while I was out test driving it. I don't know how they let someone take it out while paperwork was pending. Ultimately I wound up waiting for my NBM. For me personally, I am glad I waited. Both look awesome though.

Why not just paint it black as it has already been? Much less hassles for not needing to paint doorjambs etc.
What come to the color, though, I've owned three NBM F-bodies (00 Z28 and 2 99 TA's) and I think that is one of the best colors ever. Black is beautiful but a bitch to keep clean. NBM is a bit easier in that area.

either one will be sweet!

Black is nice......after you wash it, wax it, polish it, wind blows then you California Duster it....basically black is nice when it's clean.
NBM is probably one of my favorite colors on F-body, when the sun hits it, it looks great. Once again though you will have to take care of the paint to really appreciate it

NBM looks way better in the sunlight after a nice polish. I still stop and enjoy how gorgeous it is after i wash it. black is damn nice...but, its just not the same. I like the leave the engine bay black idea tho
