what happened to afterthoughtsauto.com? They had the CETA filler panel for about $80 and now its not there? Anyone know why they stopped carrying this, or where else to buy it from. Was looking forward to getting it. Guess Ill just go with the blacked out look

I wanted something unique AND I wanted to cover the key hole. Here is my solution.

I had the CE one on my WS6 but now I went all black with a black reflective bird were the old one was. I like them both. My buddy has the CE one on his silver WS6 now.

My car is actually the same as his but it is black. You would be suprised how good the CE filler along with the CE WS-6 emblem look on a black car.

I've had different kinds of crap out back on that thing lol. Mine is solid black and sometimes I like the solid look better but usually I like to keep some sort of vinyl back there:

Old car had solid black with chrome lettering/logo:


New car has solid black with reflective white for now:


I do think that if you go with the CETA painted rear bumper a solid black tail filler panel looks a little better. You don't want to throw everything at the back of the car at once.

Every time I show that closeup someone comments on the swirls. I never did any polishing or anything on that filler panel. I just used a light abrasive polish and a lot of elbow grease to remove the original lettering. I know some guys sand and polish with finer and finer grits. I might do that in the future, but right now it looks fine as long as a camera flash isn't used on it.

I would buy CETA filler. My bird logo has already faded to a gay pink. =(. I'm thinking of just either buying chrome vinyls or searching for a CETA filler on here.

Why spend money on a CETA filler when you can just remove the lettering on the one you have?
