Default black TA with CETA

a few members have done this with their black TAs. i was thinking of doing it also, with either a matte black or maybe gunmetal? dark gray? can anyone post up pics of their black w/CETA and help me decide? what do you think is the best color?

Holy fukd plate! lol. I like the silver/gray, think the matte/flat black would just make it look dirty. Looks good on other colors, but might look out of place on black.

I guess I don't see the point in doing it a on black Trans Am...I honestly think it looks better gloss black with the rest of the car.

i agree. i like it all black as opposed to doing the bumper a different color, same way i feel about doing the "berger" panel on black camaro's. they both,
IMO, look best all black, and not a two-tone. although some do look pretty nice. as long as they fit with the cars overall look

i think that could look pretty good, incorporated in with the stripes and all.

Only on "reverse". I didn't want it to be "ricey" but at the same time a little different and subtle. Some like it, some don't.
