ceta mod?

I believe its called the ceta mod. Where you paint the back part of your rear bumper black? Anyways people keep telling me to do this to my 02 red firehawk.

Any advice?
I'm happy with the way it is, but it may look just as good if not better if it was painted?

Where at in Alabama are you? I'm in Mobile.

As far as Firehawks, they are pretty rare to my knowledge.

I would definitely do it.

The car itself is rare, but a TA bumper isn't

Being that it is a Hawk, I would leave it alone. But it is one of my favorite mods on a Trans Am.

I like the way it looks but it's a Firehawk. Any specific car like that really shouldn't be messed with in my opinion. I have a buddy who has a CETA and wanted to drop a 408 in it. He decided to leave that car alone because it's a specialty car and bought a Z28 and dumped the motor in that one instead.

Firehawks, CETA's, Daytonas
