intresting choice of tape line, most go for the upper one.. Looks good regardless, good job going glossy, matte and flat looks like crap

No, that's the correct tape line. Going for the upper line doesn't make the ceta part look separate. Looks great!

Well I had some scuffs on the rear bumper so I was having it repainted and told my friend, the guy painting it to fill in the back panel and i picked out the color and taped it off for him. I was going to go a little darker of a color but that color matched my blackbird stripes perfectly so i went with it and I was very pleased at how it came out. Now i just need to get some Corsa or nice looking exhaust tips in there. Thanx For the Comments Guys.

That is the perfect CETA. Great glossy color and it couldn't look better than on that pewter car. Great choice!

Thanx for the comments guys. When I was taping the bumper off I went with what I thought would look the best. I think most go with the upper part of the groove because its a lot easier to tape off. Atleast to me it seemed like it would have been a lot easier...it was pretty tough getting the tape down in the crevice nice straight and even. But I was very plesed with the way it came out, the guy that painted it has done all of my body work for me in the past and has always done great work.

Just though I would stop back in and say that I wasnt bashing your ceta panals at all, it looks GREAT.

Im glad you went glossy, I cant stand the flat black, to me it looks like an unpainted body piece just thrown on there waiting for paint.
