Default Pics: Flat black CETA on black TA

Well I finished up doing the CETA mod on my black TA this weekend and I really like how it came out. I used Ultra Flat Black Krylon spray piant. Im thinking about removing the WS.6 badge for an even cleaner look. Any thoughts/comments welcomed

^Im not sure how durable the paint will turn out to be, but I like having projects to do on my car anyway. I followed the steps in this link as closely as possible, only I didnt take off my bumper. Prep work is key.

Another member in the paint section told me Krylon is actully pretty durable if applied correctly, so I guess time will tell.

Looks great!! People underestimate the effect of flat / satin black on a black car....

I think you should keep rocking the WS6 badge, I don't think it looks too busy. Plus, there are a boatload of T/A owners who slap it one there. You've got the real deal...

Sorry guys, these are the Corsa Premium Series tips that came as an option when you buy the Corsa cat-back. Corsa stopped producing these a few years ago. My brother bought these tips a few months ago for his SS, they went for $300

Im still undecided on the WS.6 badge, I think I may try taking it off, but will probably end up putting it back on. Anyone have any suggestions about what adhesive is best to use?
