That looks sharp, ceta looks good in white n black. When you have it painted have them sand your tail lights and put over reduced black on them then clear. It make them darker but the light still shines through just tell them not to get to dark.

As long as they prep the lights right it'll last, just like a quality paint job.

Here is my current look. Navy metallic Blackbird stripes, Trans Am door lettering delete, door edging delete, clear side markers, custom Emblempros 'bird on the sail, concept Pontiac dart on the nose. Torq Thrust II's, 17x9.5 & 17x11. Ceta mod in the back, Magnaflow quad tips. Getting lowered next week!

If you did a blackbird stripe in black, smoked out the side marker lights, and did the ceta on the back it would look great with black rims.

Are you painting it Artic White or another shade of white? Just curious b/c I'm on the fence about what color to paint my white Camaro. If I do mine white (original color) I'm looking for a really bright gloss white paint.
