Default Finished my CETA bumper, Pewter trans am, with pics

There were a couple nice scratches, so i figured i would give the CETA a shot as i would otherwise have had the bumper repainted anyway. I know my tips are a little bit crooked... ughh they stay straight for about 2 days before they are out of wack again

before:


during:


wet sanding


After:

the one on the car is a Borla and the other one is a magnaflow... I picked up the magnaflow off of a friend with a Y pipe for $100 bucks so i couldn't pass it up. For my neighborhood the Borla is a bit too loud. I only have one block off plate with mine (you can adjust the sound) but i am going to make one that completly blocks off the other side and see how loud it is. If it brings it down to a civilized level, i am going to do that and install a QTP cutout.

Looks sweet dude! I love the way my black CETA looks on a red WS6. Just one question..
What's with the Ford Racing banner?

You don't even have to take it off if you don't want to, you just line the bumper with tape and newspaper. But from what i remember there's just some screws and bolts holding that on.

yeah the bumper is held on by 6 bolts, 2 screws and some push pins... worth the extra time IMO
