Im not sure it thats how the CETA is factory but thats how I told him to do it. Now I dont have to worry about the little black spots of dirt that get in there. No more getting them off with my finger.

I LOVE the look. ground effects, black CETA on Silver, WS7 badge, and the stripes.

The only thing I would add are blackbird stripes on the hood to top off the black/silver theme.

Well funny that you ask. I had my car towed back to my house from a shop that did motor work on it about an hour away. Everything was going good until the guy drove my car off the damn flatbed without using any boards to help it. Seems real stupid to do when he knew my car was so low. I said to him stop stop!, but the cutout was open so he didnt see me bitching until he had ran the bottom rear bumper on the ground. So after some talking with the owner of the company they paid for it to get painted. So This goes under free mods I guess the guy has had people call in before and say bad things about him, So I dont know if he has a job anymore or not. Hope he does because its not that big of a town and he knows where I live lol.

sorry to hear about the mishap with the flat bed driver, maybe the guy was having a bad day. did they use semi-gloss on the bumper?, did a search on this awhile ago and people have done it in flat, glossy, semi-glosssy
