Default Red on black CETA panel pics

Dunno if I ever posted up pics of the red CETA panel...but I'm bored enough to do so now



What do you guys think? Also debating doing red overlays on the door and front emblems and changing the reflective black GS fender hashes to red to kinda tie it in better.

You've committed yourself to adding alot more red on the car by doing that for it to work. It could be nice, but you need alot more than overlays! Put red brake calipers on your list, too. If you pull it off, you'll have one badass look, uncommon and unique.

Like bboyferal said. You commited yourself in adding more red. Overlays, calipers, and stripes? and I think polished lips would go a LONG way as well...just my .02.

Put some red TransAm overlays on the door and hit the calipers with some red. That will set it off. Looks good.

You could try painting it yourself or going to a body shop and letting them do it.

You could always try some red wheels like the aniversary trans am with blue wheels.JKJKJK But you do need to more red accents. Red and black emblems would help or red stripes, or red black bird stripes.

instead of making it even more tacky, how about just painting it gunmetal grey or even flat black.

subtle is how it's done... ah well, it's not my car let the lack of taste flow.
