Pictures of TA's with portions painted, stripes, etc... I saw an avatar of a TA with the back lower bumper portion painted black but it was a small picture. Would like to see other pictures of paint stuff people have done to break up the mono-color they all come with (except maybe Special Editions). TIA!

This is called the "CETA" mod because collectors edition trans ams came with it... Try searching for CETA and you'll probably find all kinds of results! I think this looks awesome on lighter cars like yellow and white, but wondered how it would look on my NBM/tan ragtop car. Theres also write ups on here or ls1.com somewhere on how to do it.

lol. did you "two tone it" or did you buy a factory ground effects kit from someone and not get it painted to match? it will look nice when you do get it painted... ...until then let it sit in your garage, not on the car.

Looking at those pics I don't see how you could two-tone it or stripe it in any fashion. Only nice parting line is the rear bumper CETA. Need to see one done Pewter but imagine gloss black is the only color that would look good on Pewter.

Looks like it varies whether to go all the way out to the edge of the channel or not. I stopped by Maaco to see how much to do it in gloss black base/clear and they gave me a written quote of $228 saying the bumper would need to come off. He said they couldn't get under the car to paint it right without removal.

about the panel between the ligts, there is a write up somewhere on the removal process.

I was/am a Big Dale sr. Fan and always loved look of his black/silver/red car that he drove, So when I did the CETA mod to my car I figured that it would look good if I Put a red pinstripe between the silver and the black. I love the way that it came out.
The colors look alot better in person

Maaco sucks, I wouldn't take it there. The bumper takes literally 10 minutes to take off. I would take it off and do it yourself, if you're not comfortable, take it off and take it to the dealership or another reputable shop. Every person I've talked to (here, and locally) despises Maaco.
