Apprently. I've known about it for a long while. I suppose it all started in 02 on the original Ceta. I never gave it much thought as my car is dark....used to be NBM. It never crossed my mind that it might look good with a different color. Also, being that I am going to repaint some of my panels...why not do the ceta mod!

I'd do a satin black, if anything. Your car looks great as-is, I'd probably leave it alone.

I think the silver is awful. On a blue car I would only go with black.

silver is horrible. Don't like it. I honestly don't like black either. I went with dark charcoal.

Yea, that looks freakin' unbelievable! If my car was NBM still, i'd be out there right now painting it! I might be painting my car back to NBM in a few years. I need a photoshopped pic of my car with that color! I don't know if that would look as good or go darker. Not black, but really close. It won't be flat black. I plan to spray paint the color I want and clear the whole bumper sence i'm repainting some panels on my car
