Default Ceta mod on 30th t/a

I'm debating about doing the ceta mod on my 99 30th t/a.Just wondering what color you think i should do it in?Black or navy blue to match the dark portion of my stripes?

I think black would look out of place, if you do it, I'd recommend blue.

seen both, liked both. i've seen a couple with it done in black, and like other colors that have done it black, you really cannot go wrong with that choice.

i forget if the the anniv. car i saw was here on ls1tech or cardomain (i think it was on cardomain), but it looked pretty nice matched with the stripes. especially with the annodized wheels and all.

either way will look good. but i personally think it'll look best done in black. it flows perfectly with the rear of the car (tailights/ center panel) when done in black and it still wouldn't take away from the blue accents at all.

the ceta mod is when you paint the lower part of the Trans Am rear bumper black. the area that goes around the exhaust tips. the CETA's (collectors edition trans am) had came with this from the factory

and this is a 30th ed. car, like he's asking about: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/482503

ceta mod:

I personally don't like the CETA mod... but IF you are going to do it.... I would do the blue.

I've seen it done blue, but that's the only color you should do on the CETA mod if you're going to do it.

I think a satin dark blue finish would look sweet . It would have to dead on match the stripe color though .

Blue, matching the stripe color. The 30th has a white/blue theme going, and throwing a random strip of black in there seems like it would mess it up/be out of place.

Does anyone have a picture of a 30th anniversay rear end similar to the picture above? I'd be happy to do a quick photochop of what it might look like. Just thought I'd offer. I wouldn't know where to even start looking for pictures. I tried google images, but none of the rear end shots were good enough to work with.
