I am personally not a fan of the matte black look. I prefer the look of ghost stripes, ie using a pearl in the clearcoat over the stripes.

the stripe kits do come with the pieces to do the roof, spoiler/hatch. you can choose whether to use them or not. trans am jam used all of his, if you look up the pics of his car. ijust used the stripes on the hood though.

please dont do the ceta mod to the bumper. black t/a's look cleaner without it. the reason it looks good on other colors is because it ties in with the black bar up top (tailights/center tail panel), so it flows nice. so on a black car, it doesn't have the same effect.

look this is what I think you should do: Paint it gloss black w/ maybe a couple more coats of clear, paint the ram air stripes flat black ..no ceta stripes no bullshit like that....take off side t/a badges, !pontiac on headlight lid, antenna mod, !side markers, and call it a day..
