Default CETA bumper, Pewter on White Firehawk?

I am thinking about doing the CETA bumper mod, but I am having reservations. First, cause it is a Firehawk, and second because I am not too crazy about the White/Black combination. For my personal taste, there is a little too much contrast.
So I was thinking about doing the CETA mod in a Pewter color, maybe just a little darker. Has anyone seen anyone do this? I have seen dark gray and black, but that is all, so I have no idea what it will look like. I think it might look good with the Corsa exhaust tips I am going to install too. Thoughts?
Does anyone have pics of a pewter/dark silver CETA bumper?
Thanks

I think it would clash with your greenish blue side decals

You guys that say nay, is it because of the goldish tint of the pewter color? Do you think it would look better in a dark silver or charcoal?

Actually, I was thinking about doing that! Getting a pewter set with a red or dark red 'swoosh'.

Ohhh, and guys, the "Firehawk" letters are in light blue, no hint of green. The 'swoosh' is light green though.

The 'swoosh is the dot in the 'i' of Firehawk.

Tint you windows first!!! It's dieing for tint so bad!!! Once you get some tint on the windows you will want a black ceta. I'd go black and black only for a ceta.
