headlights need to be adjusted down some, otherwise looks good, some blackbird stripes might make the rear look better.

Cut the red with some silver on the car somwhere else.... like some silver stripes or something. it would really accent the silver CETA mod.... get some silver or gun metal rims also

That would look kick ***!

Paint job itself looks great man. I'd have to say though you definetly need some more silver accents to pull off the silver CETA. Honestly black would probably have looked best especially with the tinted tails lights. You should have tinted the side markers to match too while it was being painted.

You can get a set of blackbird stripes in silver along with overlays for the front plate & rear bumper inserts.

looks nice, the silver ceta is just different enough. I agree with these guys that you need a little more silver to really finish the look though. Congrats on a cool new paint job though

I liked it until I saw the rear. Then it all went downhill IMO. I have always thought the berger/ceta panels were ugly and out of place. I say paint the thing all red and add some black stripes to the side of the hood if you need to change it up. Otherwise, make everything uniform and not divided up.

Very nice, I like the silver accent. Add a few more and it will pull the whole theme together.

Looks good except the silver. It looks like you for got to paint it. Maybe more silver would make it look better like others have said already.
