Car looks very cool with the black wheels. When you say black on black are you referring to the wheels or the interior? Black interior seems rare on t/a's it seems. If your interior is black all the more reason for my blackbird stripes suggestion: Flat Black. Was trick on the 'Cudas and other mopars to have a black car with a flat black billboard stripe or scat pack stripe and I think would look great with your ominous black car. similar to the charcoal idea which is a good idea too but even more....edgy... to have them flat black.
And retain them black grills too!

You could put red side marker lights, jsut for something different. the rear side marker lights off of a camaro work on the front side of a firebird. also, i would put whiter bulbs in the fogs and turn signals. also, maybe a silver and black arrowhead for the front bumper. as for CETA style, a gunmetal or charcoal looks awesome. i have a friend with a black T/A and he has his in a gray of some color and it looks awesome and subtle
