Default Black TA CETA Mod - What Color to use ?

Just wondering if anyone with a Black TA has done the CETA Mod in Red ?

Any pictures of a RED, Silver, or something as close as "stainless steel look"(Mirror Look) . ?? Not sure If its possible or not. ?

Thanks

Cory

don't like it done as much on black cars, but charcoal would be best IMO

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I don't think it would look good on my color car either.

Keep it the way it is, IMO.

Here, I just saw this and noticed that his black ta has a silver CETA that looks interesting. Ask him for some better pictures.

gunmetal or charcoal would probaly be the only 2 that would look good on a Black car.

Just thought Id see what people think about it. my color scheme is red/black now.. but Im planing on geting rid of it. for stainless sometime in the near future. Im sick of the red.

I was thinking a custom orange scheme.. or Gradient orange to red..if I dont go stainless. I just want something a little different.

Only if he means "hellaciously gorgeous" when he says "tacky".
