Like the title says I have a black t/a. is there any color that looks good against a black body? Thinking about changing the bottom half of the bumper but not sure if any color works with black. Any input would be great thanks.

I would suggest matte or satin black. Other colors just look like junkyard replacement panels that you havent matched yet IMO.

Gunmetal or Sliver would like good. I actually saw a black T/A on here with a sliver CETA and it reminded me of Dale Earnhardt's racecar.

i like the matte color on the plasti dip. it doesn't look bad at all. good job steve. the taillights look sick as well. would love to know the steps to doing this. i've always thought about doing this...but the i've always been a fan of the oem honeycomb.

mysterbird: man that grey is probably the best ceta mod on a black t/a i've ever seen. that looks very nice! i can't tell but did you put clear on the grey...if not have you considered it?

ws6outlaw

was also wondering if i could get that dark silver in plasti-dip? that way i could see how i like it on my bumper before i actually go permanent and paint it dark silver.

ya i was gonna say silver always looks good on black cars..or like they all said matte black but it wont POP as much as silver or charcoal would..that pic of the silver with red pinstripe looks ****** awesome

Thanks for the good words guys, when I sprayed the silver it needed something to break it up and the red pinstripe did it perfectly. Dan: My brother Chris Hile drives the modified that we own on a weekly basis, I take it out for hotlaps now and then just to remember what 813 horsepower feels like lol
Here is picture of this years new car...

I was gona do that exact thing I'm my firehawk!! I want the ceta bumper to match the silver/grey letters where it says firehawk and the dotted "I" which is like a flame or flag thingy in the word firehawk is purple, so to keep it simple I was gona do the purple trim where ur red trim is. Great job now I have enough confidence to do it after finally seeing it!!

Thank you ws6 outlaw, i like the honeycomb too, it shows through nice when you apply the brakes




and both the plastidip and the VHT taillight tint is easy. theres alot of write ups springing up on the forum for the plasti-dip, and the vht is on youtube.
