Thumbs up Photos - Comparing Oranges to Oranges

Nice and sunny day today, so I drug the cars out of storage and snapped some nice photos of the orange trio. This will give you a good idea of how all three popular colors compare and contrast with eachother.

2006 GTO is "Brazen Orange Metallic"
2002 Firehawk is "Sunset Orange Metallic"
1969 SS is "Hugger Orange"

I guess you could say I like orange vehicles













Tony

Definitely will be wheels on the GTO. I have it narrowed down to about 5 brands and styles though. I'll shop for the best deal on them.

No, it is stock. That is about the only car that GM gave the proper stance from the factory.
