Default Ceta mod question

Now I have a black Ws6 and I'm wondering what color would be best for the ceta mod. I was thinking like a silver. I want to do my calipers silver, and I have polished ZO6 rims, Chrome letter overlays and letter inserts.

Anysuggestions? Or should I not to the CETA mod at all.

I wouldn't do it. Why would you want that part to stand out?

I think it would look alright with a darker gray. Why is it called the CETA mod anyway?

Collector's Edition Trans Am (first Trans Am to come with the black painted valence, b-pillar, and mirrors) and don't do it on a black car, it will just look out of place!

thanks ya!

and i guess if you go with something dark enough it will look decent as long as you have other things on your car accenting it with the same color. I would say do it flat or satin black if anything.

I have it done in silver on mine and it looks okay, but probably because i have silver 30th stripes on the car also. I'll try to borrow a camera to take pics.

I'd paint it the color of the 05 GTO/C6 gray that they have at their lower bumpers.
