Default CETA Mod on SOM TA?

Anyone seen this done? I have considered doing on my SOM TA after it is pulled from storage. I tried to photshop it but my skills are... lacking!

I have seen it on Red, Grey, White, and of course, the Yellow.

I think the SOM and Black Color scheme would look good, was thinking of going with black overlay for the plate and the black fill ins on the Pontiac in the back and top it off with some nice shiney black ZR-1's or C5 Z06 Rims.

What do you all think? I have a pic of mine I can throw out there for anyone to attempt to photoshop, like I said, I'm not to great at it!

I think the CETA mod looks good on all light colored cars, especially something like the SOM color. I say go for it.

I think it looks great on all Trans Am's, no matter what the body color is. Like someone else said, They should have been doing them like that from the beginning!
