definitely get some tips or do the CETA mod, maybe some chrome overlays to match your rear filler panel, and i would also get clear side markers.

I would do the ceta mod, remove your molding, remove your door emblems, ws6 hood, some corsa tips, and some stainless steel ponitac fill ins. But thats just me.


BTW, I think you mean ideas not ideals.

I did remove the door molding already. I was thinking about the ceta mod since i love that but dont you think that a blue ceta mod would be to flashy... What color would you recommend doing a Royal blue like the color in the filler and plate overlay or a darker blue like a navy blue.. I gave that one alot of thought but hell if i can decide on that..

I generally don't like the ceta mod on a white car (which is generally inconsistent with most of the opinions here). Assuming the blue on your car is vinyl, you can continue the theme with blue vinyl accents on the "PONTIAC" on the left headlight and the "TRANS AM" on the doors. You could do like I did (in black) on my car and get vinyl tape to accent the grove on the rear bumper. To me it's more subtle and tasteful than the ceta and would blend well with the colors on the license plate.

I agree with you 2KWS6TA I just don't think that white is a good look for the CETA mod.. Blue would be to importish in my opinion. Thanks for your inputs so far

IMO change it from the bright blue (specially the calipers) and go with a NBM, you could get away with doing a sic *** ceta on it and some blackbird stripes would look badass with the WS6 hood.

ceta bumper, exhaust tips, and ws6 hood and it will look awesome. I think you would need to ditch the blue decals though if you did ceta in black...but the blue looks clean as hell so its a toss up. Car looks damn good as it sits though

Default Looks good as is...

but a set of clear markers on the front and nice dual tips would make it look better. The blue/white theme is nice. It sounds like you're set on the hood, but I like the smooth look.

do a blue ceta on it and match the bird on the front of the car to the ceta mod also. That would look great. Then put some stripes on it after the WS6 hood and your good to go.

if you keep the blue dont do the CETA but get some tips, clear or blacked out side markers, polish the tail light centerpiece, and maybe get rid of the trans am on the door or get blue to keep the theme

id go with electron blue for the ceta mod and add some black bird style stripes in the same color. some gmmg style oval tips may not look bad either.
