Default To CETA or not????

Ok, so I have VHT'ed my entire rear section & all sidemarkers. And my windows are tinted. With the car bein NBM its got a really dark theme to it as it is. I have really been up in the air about what to do exterior wise & was throwin this idea around. Let me know what you think.

Black WS6 badge like the CETA
paint the rear bumper with the CETA mod(unsure what color would look the best, was thinkin black to stay with the dark theme)
Get my stock 17" WS6 wheels powdercoated to look like CETA wheels
Possibly paint the roof piece black also

Basically it would look exterior wise like a CETA edition but NBM instead of yellow. There would be some other differences like:

Chrome plated "Trans Am" door moldings
S.S. hood & fender vents
S.S. "Pontiac" rear filler

What do you guys think?? I tried this in the appearance section, but didn't really get any responce. I kinda think it would look really good, but I'm still on the fence about it.

Ceta mod to the rear bumper looks like crap, in my opinion. It looks like part of the bumper still has the factory "bumper black primer" and was never painted. Looks cheap to me, and quite tacky. JMO, others will differ.

And your point is? He asked, I gave my opinion. I think it looks like crap, but you like it, so there you go. Not everyone has the same likes/dislikes.
