Default MINI CETA MOD! PICS INSIDE tell me what you think!
so i did it. and i think it looks BAD ***!

so here are the pictures of my mini-ceta project and the detailing i did to get to the finish...

how everyone likes it.

here's the beginning...



starting out...after one days work of work.



next day, over at my buddy mike's house...he's showing also, his is a 99 T/A WS.6, BONE STOCK, NOTHING ON IT, NOTHING...lol



beginning my project...







done for the night and wake up to this the next morning...

Why in the hell did you take the whole bumper off just to paint that little section?!?!?! Don't get me wrong, it looks GREAT... but it took you DAYS to do a 30 minute job... What am I missing here???

eh it took me 15 minutes to take off 15 minutes to put back on...and the reason was because i didn't want to cover the entire car. i was still waxing/cleaning the rest of the car while i painted this out in the yard...and i only had to cover that little bumper instead of the whole car...it wasn't too bad...plus it gave me an excuse to clean underneath everything...

I'm liking the way that looks. We're here for the show too (wife and I) and I'll come by to check it out in person.

If this had a voting poll on it, I would vote keep it semi-gloss.

Looks nice!

I think that was a great idea and looks great on the formula bumper, I say get rid of those V6 tail lights put some 315's on the back and get big single tips, car would look steller.

Personally, I don't like it. It doesn't look right to me.

I think your time could have been used more productively.
I love that year styling, but don't like your mod.
