I also like the idea of the black license cover bird and the blackbird stripes! After those two things, some nice black wheels would set the whole thing off!!

Here's my old one:


And to the ones who were mentioning silver CETA on black TA's, here's a youtube snippet:

Red and Black is so overdone. The CETA looks awesome, so why not step up to stainless steel. A stainless steel bird would look awesome with some stainless RAM AIR letters. Hell yeah.

ah, this never gets old.

good work
I think you should do the black ram air on the hood, but instead of CETA lettering, just fill the letters in and make it smooth. Looks much better that way.

I think the silver lip on the rims kind of messes up the red/black theme...

did you leave the bumper on? also how did your tape lines come out? and j/w did you take the tape off after spraying or waited a few hours for it to dry? finished my ceta over the weekend, it came out good but not perfect. when i pulled the tape no matter what i did some of the paint started peeling and still had a tar like consistency.

i sanded, primed, sanded again, then sprayed a few coats of black, hit it with 1500 and 2000, then black again and clear. for first time painting anything im happy with it, and the small peels are mostly hidden in the groove so u cant really see it
