Looks good but I don't like the blue interior pieces and I agree that black ceta would probably look better. On the 3rd gen, loose the hood and get a t/a wing.

I love the color, I'm just not feeling the rest . I think that color looks bets with no CETA, some 18" polished/chrome 5 spokes, !moldings, !stickers, !4x4 and some dark tint. Very clean nonetheless!

Looks killer, BUT a black CETA would look better, and kill those side stripes, they look cheesy and overdone IMO

i think your ceta looks fine. black would stand out to much wth would you paint it black when your rims and decals are silver...? not a good idea. Your car flows perfect the way it is. I remember it at the t/a nats i was parked in the same row as you i think a few years ago.

Thanks for the comments and opinions. The CETA mod is same color as the stripes, don't think it would like right any other color.

Was this car in gmhtp years ago? If it is then it was the inspiration to paint my 3rd gen at the time MBM. Its nice people showing off rare colors but its even nicer when there are mods to it. Nice cars!

Bullshit on the CETA being black.

That car looks perfect as it is, it matches the wheels the decals etc.

Do NOT change it, it stands out, there is not another one like it and it looks badass. Awesome job man.

Smurfy! Unique color for sure. Not too crazy at first glance about the interior blue accents, but it could grow on me. I have a couple three of pics from the Trans Am Nationals in 2001, I'm assuming it's yours.

I like the exterior, the CETA is matching with the stripes ;-) But the blue paint job on the dash not

The dash isn't painted, those are carbon fiber overlays. I still think I did too much on the center, but I figured since I paid for the entire kit I might as well put all the pieces on. I regret it now though.

How did you get the calipers in that color? is it custom or did you buy the paint somewhere?
