It looks like the same panels are on display at the Dream Cruise so maybe one of our members who actually parks near the GM Performance display on Woodward near Thirteen Mile can inquire.

That "just having some fun with it" sounds like a pretty weak rationale for that abomination of a display. Perhaps they could explain the popular "White, Red and Blue" color scheme as a "funny" on the usual order used with the American flag? And I take it the "Alluminum" display will also resurface at this event.

Yeah, I hope someone at the show call them out on these horrible marketing displays.

And it would be nice to have more details on what an "Ungrained Low Polish" blade spoiler is all about.

Re-using these horrible displays as is would be a terrible and sad decision. Chevy just "laughing it off" (or laughing at anyone who calls them out on it) would be very telling about their intelligence level and mind-set.

Ungrained Low Polish - what is that? Seriously. But I already conceded serious intent and as serious as I take car things I do like a little bit of unserious.

As I was one that did not take the panel serious enough to ask a What's Up with those colors I admit: My Bad.

Maybe "ungrained low polish" sounds more high tech than "smooth matte finish" to the marketing guys.

Paint Names

In doing some research on night fall gray (aka Phantom gray on the ATS aka Son of a gun here) vs the gray used on the ATS I actually found all of these names on various websites selling touch up paints. If you Google the paint codes for Camaros or ATS you will find tons of touch up paint offered under these names. My guess is these are the paint manufacturer's names for the corresponding colors. The misspellings I can not explain
