CETA = Collectors Edition Trans Am. The CETA's have the outline on the bottom of the rear bumper done in black. I did mine gloss black and I love it. You can kind of see it in the small pic of my car in the corner next to my name

Does anyone have a pic of the car with the darker Silver stripes down the ram air part that fades into the flags like the SS Camaro?? Was kind of debating doing that or the Stripes down the sides of the ram air in dark grey and getting a set of American Racing Classics with the polished lip and grey inserts. Thanks

Thanks.

Afterthoughtsauto carries them and that's where I got them: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/picofsidmaro.html

I'm sure you can find them on eBay, too. However, I hear some leak. Mine have never built condensation.

Love the wheels. If I didn't love the stock ones so much, those would make my top three.
