Go ahead and do it. I think that it looks nice no need to spend the money on honeycombs. What color is your car? it looks good.

Looks good to me. What exactly are you doing to the tail lights? Heck, I didn't even know you were doing the CETA if Stealth hadn't mentioned.

I had a friend that worked at a f-body performance place, and got mine of a wrecked 02 I think...paid 50 all in all for mine (please noone kill me!) . He gave us a deal, and said I usually ask 175 for em, but Ill let yall have em for 100. I said awesome! He said you wanna sell your 93-97 ones to me? I said sure, and he gave me 50 for em. According to him there is actually a market for the 93-97s. I didnt know there was, but he is around f-body stuff day and night, so Ill take his word for it!

I say go for it. Anything to save money and improve the tail lights! CETA looks good too. For ultra easy, I myself might have picked up some blackouts for the tail lights. Some like them, some don't, but it looks better than the delamination.

It means "Collector's Edition Trans Am." It has the lower rear bumper painted black straight from the factory.
