Now that mine is done, everytime I see one without it done it doesn't look right to me.

if not done properly or was a hack job then by all means yes. im a fan of the ceta mod also a fan of the cars getting the full ceta treatment black roof and mirrors. which i plan to do as soon as i get my car painted most likely this summer. i did the ceta mod it i think it looks good so do a lot of people from what i have been told.

It depends on the color of the car and the color of the CETA paint mod. Obviously, if you have it painted some weird color it will look like crap. I saw a black T/A with a red CETA and that looked like total crap. As long as they are painted charcoal or black, they look okay.

I don't think it cheapens the look, i think it makes the rear stand out a little more and highlights your exhaust tips better. Ofcourse if done wrong or the colors clash than yeah.

I looked at the "before ceta" picture of my car and it doesn't look right to me.

EDIT:
forgot to add that it doesn't cheapen the look, IMO it makes it look more aggressive

Ceta for t/a's all the way, but the berger to me looks out of place and cheap in most cases.

I don't think there is a factory color for the TA that the CETA wouldn't look good on. Except maybe that GOLD color in 98.

Don't get it twisted, I'm all about the Gold, but with a black CETA I'm not sure it would look too good. Maybe somebody can find an *** shot of a Gold TA and Photoshop on a CETA mod.

yeah, if it's done right, and has the right color, then yeah it looks good. it makes the car look more recent/new/2007 being that all these new cars coming out have cetas. im sure they dont call it ceta though.
