That should look real good. my ceta is storm gray, which is not as dark as my bb stripes. I've often thought about doing the spokes on my wheels a dark gray too, just never had the ***** to do it

I had the pinstripe with Ram Air cutout on my old silver 97 TA, along with CETA, but I refuse to do those mods on my SOM WS6.

i only posted up the pics to show you how the charcoal stripes looked against SOM, not to say to get them. since nobody else posted up anything on som colors.

i think the charcoal bb stripes with the pinstripes would look best. with no ram air cut-outs, and no checkered flags. keep it clean and simple.

SOM looks amazing with Charcoal Metiallic Blackbird stripes. I'd do the standard solid, or maybe the flag styling.

Here you go. I think you'll like these pictures. Unfortunately no pics of the CETA though.

It's also worth mentioning the significance of this picture - or the cars in it.

30th TA
SOM Blackbird
and I believe what is the only Blackbird CETA in existence.
