SOM w/ CETA bumper?

getting ready to CETA my bumper. Does anyone own an SOM Trans Am with the CETA conversion, so i can see what it looks like? and what do you recommend, semigloss or flat to compliment the SOM exterior?

Except for the long exhaust tips the ceta looks great to me. On that car in that pic the gloss looks amazing to me.

I'd go gloss black for the CETA. Then, it matches the area inbetween the tail lights. That T/A posted, looks awesome with it done.

I used to see one cruising around that had it done. The paint matched his anthracite TTII wheels, along with Blackbird style stripes. Definitely one of my favorite T/As.

Sorry I don't have any pictures for you, though. The car was in Greenville, TX...maybe someone else here has seen it or has pics.

You know when you see new cars with textured plastic panels instead of fully painted areas indicating that they are the cheaper models. You don't want to cheapen the look of a beautiful car. Plus isn't you center tail light panel gloss black?
