My car is the only car in this color that ive seen. Its Medium Blue Metalic. Ive seen pics of other cars in the color but mine is the only one that ive seen in person. Before I bought it, I thought the color was too light, but then in person its a little darker and looks bad ***.

Donaimian, there is another medium blue T/A here in Houston. The guy's name is Jason and his car has a 427ci engine and polished CCW wheels on it. Sweet car!

Most of the rare colors came out in '98.

Sport Gold Metallic ('98 only)
Bright Green Metallic ('98 only)
Metallic Purple ('98 only)

Medium blue and Hugger orange were '99 only

Maple Wood? Is that the Maple Red Metallic, or whatever the true name of the color it is. What years was that?

They have to be rare, I see tons of TAs a day and I have never seen one.

yea its either maple red metallic or magnetic red metallic (although i THINK that might be the vette color name)....either way as far as i know MRM TAs were only made in 2000 and they are SWEET looking in person.

Seriously, I gotta meet up with this guy when i get some free time on my hands. I really want to check out his car. Im usually on the NW side when im in the car, but I guess I need to start visiting the other sides of town sometimes to see whats out there.

I like your car. I think I have seen it around town before. Nice to have a rare color.

Another MMM here so that leaves 1,798 unaccounted for.

What year is that SS? I know for 2002, MMM was not available with an SS, only base Camaros and Z28s.

And for those of you that say to MMM, don't knock the color until you've seen it in person and with a nice coat of Zaino.

Well said, Windy City.

I have a MMM Z28 thats having an OEM SS hood/Spoiler fitted and paint matched (dealership) rolling on Fikse FM5's. You won't see too many of those running around.
