DSOM vs Atomic Orange
Sorry if this has been asked but I'm at work and can't search. I recently purchased a 05 dsom coupe and have been looking at under the hood matched painted items caps and frc but the are just atomic orange. From the pictures they look brighter orange and I don't pick mine up til Thursday. For those that have seen both in person how much difference is there and is enough to look way out of place on a DSOM Thanks for the help I'm new to the corvette world.

I love the color....would not have bought it otherwise. It does seem darker with red in certain light. I want to minor dress up stuff but only finding atomic orange parts. Ohwell

well Ill wait on under hood and interior parts..def not something I want to try myself. I am not that talented and would hate to screw it up. Post up some pics when you get a chance I'd love to see how they turned out. Now why I have your attention anybody have a pick with a Black center stripe or black stripes in general. Just toying around with cheap ideas at the moment as I am holding off on mods til my house is finished.

I know someone here had a black stripe going down the middle. Can't remember if it was DSOM or AO though. I considered putting a grey one down my AO car to match the comp grey wheels.
Both are great colors. AO definitely has more "pop" when they are next to each other. Both colors would probably be hard to match due to their depth. When I first saw the C6 it was in DSOM and I wanted a C6 ever since.
