Default Ceta Style Overlay! I Wish!

You know i was thinking about Vinyl overlay for the rear part of a trans am, CETA style. Becasue i know that there are many members that on this webpage that would love to have the rear lower portion of the bumper painted black. If somebody just made an overlay that looked like this


or this


I think LOTS of people would buy one.... Including myself. You dont have to worry about sanding and painting your bumper. The overlay would be quite big.... but stilll it would be awesome... What do you guys think?

no way to make a vinyl sticker that would accomodate all the angles and curves of the bumper.

Yep, too many curves for the vinyl to work. Plus it probably wouldn't like the heat from the exhaust very much

You'd be better off just to paint it.

You could paint it for what it would cost to vynl it.

You would either have to pay someone to install it for you, or buy 3 sets of vynl to do it yourself. Im sure you can find someone to paint it for you pretty cheap.
