Default camaro ceta mod?

i've been toying with this idea for a while now so i finally threw some tape on my bumper, roughly masked it out really quick and painted the tape just to see how it would look

still not 100% sure i like it or not. i've got lots of mixed reviews so far. most people say the license plate kills it being right in the middle or because it doesn't have the designated line like the trans am. just wondering what you guys think? i'm guessing most responses will be "it looks like ****" but just curious to see what people think. also any suggests are appreciated too. i think maybe it needs to be a little bit wider maybe? idk let me know your guys thoughts to see if i can maybe get this to work

Not a fan, there's just to much going on. But it's not my car if you like it go with it.

ehh... It's different.
Not sure if I'm a fan though... I think it's missing something.

IMO it just doesn't work without cutouts for exhaust or lines molded into the bumper

I think to pull it off you need the CME valance like 6LE is making with the mold for it.

hmm..i'm kind of on the fence about this but leaning more towards that I like it

and if i didn't like it, it wouldn't be something where i was like "eww, that **** is ugly!" it would just be like, "cool idea, just not for me"

so it's not a bad concept, i'm for it at this point! (only if you don't run tips though, because i feel having tips poke out from underneath will take away from the mod)

haha yeah i agree! i have a remote mount turbo though so there will definitely never be tips.

i'm gonna play around in photoshop with the height/width and see if i can come up with something that looks better, i'll post up pics if i figure something different out

I don't think the wing takes away from the bumper. Concentrate on the bumper, not the spoiler.

yeah with an ss spoiler it would prob look better. also i think i like yours better than 6le but i think the license plate ruins it how its kinda half in the black and half in the white. i think 6le's is perfect for CME though.

That's kinda like telling someone to look for asteroids passing in front of the sun:

"Just look for the rocks, ignore the giant bright thing burning your soul"

j/k sorry but the wing look HUGE and goofy

I like the way the OP mocked it up over the 6LE bumper. although, the 6LE bumper looks great, i think the "ceta" part is too small plus, the op is just working with the original bumper, since he'll never put tips why would he get the 6LE bumper with holes where no tips will come from...juuust sayin' lol

i like the original mock up even with the license plate chunk missing
