Wow, after looking at that silver car, I think my wife's 02 Trans Am looks better stock with stock wheels and decals. No offense staringback, but, even though you have a nice looking car, I think you wasted a lot of money ... just my .02 cents.

Here's a pic of her car to make a comparison with:

you like a black bra rather than a subtle blackout theme? His car is beautiful, you said it yourself and your wifes is just another generic F-body. but seriously this is like a berger panel thread. we should have a sticky about these because its always a couple pages of people that love it and people that think its as ugly (possibly one with pictures so there will be no need to post asking for them)

No ... just simply what I think ... and I have a right to my opinion. I think he wasted money ... IMO. CETA looks great on a SOM car IMHO, but, NOT on silver IMHO. The black wheels ... IMHO ... look no better than the stockers.

Your miscommunicated interpretation ... never said a thing about his
blackouts.

'you have a nice looking car' is what I said. If you're going to quote me, then, quote me correctly.

Josh, let me know who you get to do the paint. Looking at doing the CETA in a glossy gunmetal on my red car.

Not bad at all ... not much money to do what YOU like and that's what's important. If you like it ... doesn't really matter much what others' think. I went back and looked at your car a little closer and it really doesn't look too bad ... kinda' grows on you.

Re-thinking what I said last night. I think the pictures just don't do it justice. I saw a pewter WS6 T/A last year in Altamonte with the same theme as yours and in person it looked very nice. Clean .... not too subtle ... even had the blackouts ... getting ready to order 3-4 cans of VHT, myself.

I do think neither of our cars look as good as the SOM color with the CETA look ... that's just my personal view and I'm sure many with differ in their opinions.

Kind Regards brother ...
