Dark metallic charcoal would be my choice if I owned the car.

Maybe gloss black

Hell f#cking NO to silver!

Not a big fan of the CETA bumper on NBM. But then again I'm not a big fan of Berger panels on NBM Camaro's either.

Just fyi, that dark charcoal doesn't end up being dark. It looks like crap. I re did mine in universal black which was a lil lighter than gloss and it had metallic flake in it. IMO, its for teh win. My car isn't NBM, but link in my sig show pics

i think black accents on an NBM car are very subtle and look great. I like berger panels on maros.

What color is it for the CETA bumpers? Flat, semi or gloss black? And what would be best for Silver?

Hey Rocketman, do you think you could post more pictures of your car? I was also thinking of charcoal grey on my NBM but wasnt sure. I was thinking of maybe Glossy black, but i still dont know how that'll turn out. Anyone done thier NBM in glossy black?
GTKiller, your flat black looks almost grey. Any more pictures of it? Thanks.
