That looks awesome. I'd say yellow or black letters.

Do you have Trans Am overlays? If you do, I would make them match that color. If you don't then I would probably do black.

No, Firehawks did not come w/them, they have Firehawk decals on the doors, mine are yellow.

Black, did a really QUICK Photoshop, just colored the letters in black, this took me like 2 minutes. It's just to give you a feel of how it will look...

Personally I like the black. IMO you can put too much on a car.

I would do the CETA mod first, then decide if you need more.

I loved the inserts on my red car

But elected to not use them on my white on due to the lettering on my center piece as well as my CETA bumper.

The look of the Firehawk is unique, it may be worth taking changes to it in stages. If you are dead set on inserts, you may want to get some cheap vinyl inserts ($8 from Brent Franker) and see how they look. If you decide to remove them when you do the CETA mod, you can very easily remove the vinyl ones and a bit of wax will fix everything. You could order some nice inserts then if you like the look but want nicer quality. There was nothing wrong with the vinyl ones, but some folks like the thick ones.

Attempted to do the CETA mod this past saturday, spent 4 hours and 1.5 cans of black plasti dip, watched all the youtube videos the night before too. Turned out to be a cluster *****, wound up pulling it off, will post pics. I wanted to do the plasti dip as a trial run then if I liked it, paint it. Came out like heavy non skid textured surface in some area. Epic Fail!
