ya imo the only way you could do ceta on that and make it look good at all would be to match the stripe color. And i think that might start to make the car to busy, and take away from an already awesome paint scheme.

...and what are the chances your building a 455 lsx to keep that car you know "true to its roots?"

What Would Be A Good Scheme Is To Get All The Honeycomb Patters Plotted Out And Paint The Tail Lights Pearl White, That Way The Tail Lights Are Not SO BLUNT. I THINK THATS WHAT'S TAKING AWAY FROM THE REAR VIEW OF YOUR CAR.
