Does anyone know if certain specific year Trans Ams/Colors had the rear lower bumper area blacked out??? I always thought that was a clean look but could never differentiate what specific years or colors had the rear of the lower rear bumper painted black....

I know that the GMMG Blackbirds seemed to have almost all of their special vehicles with this appearance.

All CETA (collector edition trans am) had it. Hence where the name "CETA mod" come from. 2002...

Yep only the yellow ceta cars had them but it's a common mod to do. I did mine in charcoal

the CETA's are the only ones that came STOCK with that piece painted black. all the others did it them selfs.

Did you guys do this yourself or is it worth it to have it done professionally?

Thanks for the insight btw...

a lot of people do it themselves but if its not something you think you can do correctly, i'd bring it somewhere. definately a mod i would do if i had a TA

Took me less than 15$ and 2 hours... Everyone I ever talked to thought my car came factory like that, you couldn't tell it wasn't done professional... Krylon Fusion paint F T W!

Any pics of this appearance upgrade on a Navy Blue Metallic Ws6 in a flat black finish??? I checked the archives and it seems like the only pics on there were for lighter colored TA's.

The WS6 i might be purchasing is a NBM color. Thats why i ask.

pics? anyone?

cause it has more of an effect/ looks better on other colored cars. black cars should stay stock, and it wont do as much for a NBM car as it does for the lighter colors.

but, i do think it would look good on a NBM car. never seen it done though, so i cant help you with pics.

Do it, be the first you see with it

i personally like it but prob only looks good in a less sheen.. flat or satin

That looks more like a dark charcoal, I was throwing around the idea of doing that to my car, but didn't want it to look unfinished like primer.

idk it might be flat... flat has a light look to it... but it looks pretty good

I like the look when it's done in flat black on NBM. Charcoal looks good too. I'm redoing mine this summer in flat or satin black.

yeah thats a dark charcoal color, not black. i think black would've looked better on there. that car has a bit too much going on in the back: NBM paint, black paint (filler panel/lights), charcoal paint, Ol' Lumpy spoiler, huge tips, lots of emblems that really stand out.... its a bit overwhelming
