SEMA 09: Camaro Chroma Concept

SEMA 09: Camaro Chroma Concept
Take note, several of the new stuff on this car are coming to GM Accessories
www.gminsidenews.com
November 3, 2009


It looks like the custom creation of a tuner shop, but the Camaro Chroma simply demonstrates how carefully selected accessories available through Chevy dealers can create a look like nothing else. The Camaro Chroma is based on an SS/RS model in Summit White and uses a combination of current and not-yet-released components, including:
  • A new silver stripe package
  • 21-inch wheels (future product, with silver-painted spoke centers and a Victory Red stripe)
  • "Blade” rear spoiler (future product)
  • Summit White ground effects package
  • Rear fender vent graphics
  • Accessory front grille with body-color outer frame (future accessory)

“With its silver graphics on the Summit White paint, this car has a tailored, tone-on-tone appearance that is simultaneously racy and subdued,” said Todd Parker, design manager, GM Accessory Studio. “It is a sophisticated-looking car that is easily duplicated by any customer, because all of the parts are available to build it.”

From a performance standpoint, the Camaro Chroma’s standard LS3 V-8 engine is equipped with current accessories, including a performance intake, shorty headers and performance exhaust system. There’s also a Victory Red engine cover and a Hurst short-throw shifter for the six-speed manual transmission, as well as red-painted Brembo brake calipers.

Inside, the black-and-grey leather seats feature red accent stitching, as do the shifter boot, floor mats and door trim. Accessory inserts for the dashboard and door panels (in silver) are also included as available accessories.

“What’s great about the Camaro Chroma is it speaks to the almost unlimited possibilities that the accessories offer,” said Parker. “You can build your Camaro mild or wild, but build it your way.”

That grille looks great. I like the red stripe on the tires too.

Re: SEMA 09: Camaro Chroma Concept

My favorite of the concepts. I SO wish White had been available from the beginning. I'd have gotten White instead of Silver.

Re: SEMA 09: Camaro Chroma Concept

Aren't those all dealer installed parts as well?

I really liked this one because it isn't over done like much of the other Camaro concepts that you see, it has the ground effects package but its body colored to match the white and its lowered with different rims and a bigger lip spoiler.

Re: SEMA 09: Camaro Chroma Concept

I don't like the wheels. Seem a little to generic, almost like wheelcovers.
The red stripe on the tires/wheels would be nicer if there was something red on the body itself (big stripe). Otherwise it just looks a little out of place. I do like the grille.

Agreed.....the ground effects package/spoiler looks good, but the wheels look plain fugly (like someone stole the wheelcovers off a Impala LS). Has to be something better in GM's accessories catalog....
