Default CETA mod idea

I have an Artic White Trans Am that needs a repaint on the bumper, so I decided it would be a good chance to do the CETA mod. My paint guy suggested painting the indented line red. I didn't know what it would look like, so I had him hold off for a day. I did a quick MS Paint job on TallyTransAm's car that i found in a CETA mod discussion. What do you guys think? Red line or go with the classic all black? Right now I'm leaning toward all black, it's more clean, but I definately wanna hear some opinions

It doesn't look bad. Just not used to seeing it. But either way it will look good

Not feeling it. Unless you have some other black/red paint scheme or graphics going on, it looks off. Do it the regular way imo. White looks amazing with the ceta mod though

It would only work, if you paired it w/ black checkered ram air hood stripes w/ a hint of red in it.

I think I'm just gonna go with the standard black CETA. I don't have any other red to pull it off, and I'm sure just the plain black with my white T/A will look good

i like it, it's different. i also agree there needs to be more red on the car. maybe red blackbird stripes?

*EDIT* just now noticed your car doesn't have the ws6 style hood.

When I first saw the picture it reminded me of those tires that have a red line around them on the sidewall. Maybe if there was a red stripe on the car. It does look different.

Just have him paint it all black. If you want to test it out, but some 1/4" red pin striping tape.

I kinda like it. Get a set of black C6 Z06 rims with the red pinstripe and I think it would look killer.

I think it would look good. That mark-up in the picture makes the red stripe look much bigger than it would if the border was actually painted. Use a darker red than the mark-up has as well. I think it would look good.

I kind of like it, but I think it would look better if you filled PONTIAC in with red letters. The red matches the lights, but needs another small element to tie it all together.

I did a similar design on my car. I have always been a Dale Earnhardt fan so when I decided to do the CETA mod on my car I did the red stripe to complete the black/silver/red theme and I really like the way that it came out. I used vinyl decal material that I cut on my vinyl cutter for the red stripes. Here's the only picture I have..

Gunmetal would look pretty good I think! Maybe someone could Photoshop one on a car with the CETA mod done?
