Default ceta sail panel on red t/a .. yes or no

i currently have the black ceta bumper done on my 1996 trans am ws6.

I borrowed a pic from dirtybird222 because he has the black sail panel on basically the same car. I'd like to hear other's opinions before i paint the sail panel. Here are two comparison pictures. The first two pictures are my car, the third is his car.







I really like those zo6 motorsport rims aswell. I'm not too sure if I will go with those rime becuase the chrome kinda stands out. It doesnt seem to flow well since nothing else on the car is chrome. Let me know opinions of everyting please!

Okay you wanted opinions so here it comes ...... I hate Grand Sport Stripes (on your fender) , I'd probably just leave the sail panel red but it wouldnt look that bad black , as far as the Z06 rims - I like them but I hate the rivited ones (Motorsports) , And black CETA's on Red T/A's look sweet. "Just my opinion"

Red T/A with black Z06 rims with chrome lip and CETA bumper mod

I would love to see a few pics of a diaganol view that shows rear wheels and back bumper at the same time. It would probably push me to actually do it versus just wondering..

talk to dirtybird222. hes got the whole package

Definately do the Ceta mod but make sure you have some nice tips to go along with it (unless you have TD's). I like the Z06's without the rivets as well and in my opinion a chrome/polished lip makes it look a lot better.

you guys didnt read the post, hes all ready done the CETA mod, he wants to know if he should paint his sail panel black, i think you should leave the panel red, and leave the GS stripes, i like them.

i agree with lossing the GS stripes. as far as the ceta style canopy goes... i think it looks pretty good either way, but if it were my car i'd probably leave it red.

if you want pictures of all kinds of angles go here, I've got like 30 some odd photos up there. A lot easier to copying and pasting a bunch of links on here. I say do it but I'm biased on it haha!

I like it black....and agree with the GS stripes. Just my preference, but anyway you slice it, it's still a nice and clean looking LT1 T/A.

i also got the rims for a kickass deal. I wanted all black ones, but you beggers can't be choosers (I was on a tight budget and wanted rims really bad). I've got some gnarly curb rash on one of the rims, so i figure when i need new tires I'm gonna get that fixed and just get the lip painted like the rest of the rim, so then I just have the rivets as chrome.

I'd keep the b-pillar red. I don't think it looks as good in black as it does on Camaros. I also don't mind the GS stripes.
