Not a fan of the white bumper at all, would advise taking higher resolution shots to really show off the new paint. The black looks good though!

Yea I'm still on the fence about it, I still have to color sand the tailights to get rid of the previous owners "tint" job on them, and put the silver Pontiac inlay on the bumper and put a new silver firebird decal on the rear filler panel.

Oh and the rear bumper is the new corvette silver. Blade silver metallic I believe it's called

Not feeling the reverse ceta.
Maybe a flat black or something, but not silver.

Black section looks good, that weird CETA mod looks cheezy. People will think you wrecked the car and borrowed a lower bumper section from the junkyard. I'd paint that section matte black or matte dark gray, make it stand out less.

paint looks good but i too agree with all above that whites got to go..... maybe just in the crease of the bumper a thin white stripe.

maybe its just me but you car looks like a off road vehicle sitting really high......heater hose mod the rear and cut 1 coil off the front(if your broke like me) lol

As I'm not a fan of it being so stark, maybe take just tone it down a bit. I've seen some really sick looking black cars with a gun metal ceta on it. Maybe go back and have them use a darker shade and I think you'll be happy.

Not a fan of the reverse CETA either, but to each their own - congrats on the new paint

Thanks for all the compliments and suggestions guys. I'm gonna do a few other things to see if I like it better and if not I'm just getting it repainted to a different color. The color is blade silver metallic, it isn't white btw

Yea I like yours, but the silver on mine actually looks pretty good in person to me. I just need to get the decals, and sand the tailights, it'll help. Slowly doing what I can afford
