View Full Version : Trunk options?

05-28-2009, 07:23 PM
Ok so I currently have a black ss with a low rise wing. I planned on putting the high rise on it, even bought it and had it sitting in my trunk, but since everyone and their mom has that I sold it to someone else. Now I have the option of keepin what I have, maybe getting a carbon fiber trunk, or going to my dealer and switching trunks with a car on the lot. I'll put up a pic of my car....what do you think?

for some reason when i see these cars wingless it looks like a g35. you want it do look like a cobalt right? keep the low pro wing!

Rissa

Yeah pretty much NO ONE around here has the little wing like me lol.

What the your dealer would let you switch trunks with a car on the lot! Dam I wish I could do that. Iv been wanting to go wingless for ever.

Carbonfiber would look nice plus light weight lol

Oh and I vote low rise. If everyone around you has high. everyone up here has a base model with a low rise.

Also remember if I get a cf trunk I'd get a hood as well...only thing holding me back is $$$ and the fact that I'm going back and forth between that, and keeping the whole all black look going.

carbon fiber for sure

Carbon fiber on a black car doesn't look very good in my opinion. It sort of looks dirty from far away.

id stay with what u got and put ur money towards somethin else for ur car..wingless doesnt really flow right imo and the lo rise is unique in ur area so id keep that. I think the carbon fiber on black kinda takes away from the car when u look at it as a whole. just doesnt quite look right. :) car looks great

Rissa
05-28-2009, 08:34 PM
Hmmm what kind of deal Harrison? And should I get it painted? Thanks for the replies and compliments guys keep them up. :)

Wingless. It is the sex... or CF painted black... which would appear wingless til you open the hood

Rissa did u have your rims sprayed or powdercoated??

Rissa
05-28-2009, 10:25 PM
They are powdercoated. Ahhh totally leaning towards leaving it as is, or carbon fiber and perhaps painting it. Would that be dumb to do without getting a hood or should I get a hood too? I'm just worried about fitment issues.

I personally like the low rise spoiler. IMO I don't think black and CF go good together. Rims look sick btw

Leave it. SS/TC with low rise is FTW.

Why no love for the lip? If i was going to ditch my low rise i'd go for a lip.

I do like the lip too...but seems more of a hassle putting it on. Anyone have pics of a black car with a cf hood and/or trunk? :)

Personally...............I like how the SS balts look wingless.

05-28-2009, 11:05 PM
i still vote keep as is : ) ... how much did u pay to get them powdercoated??

Rissa
05-28-2009, 11:29 PM
Such a hard decision lol, they were $55 a wheel, and you don't have to worry about repainting them if you were to do it yourself.

These guys make it, all metal spoiler. Price is the bad thing I think i saw around 1000 painted and they need a trunk. They talk about it in the thread.

btw i think they are located in California

I perosnally think wingless makes these cars look crappy and cheap.

05-29-2009, 11:17 AM
Try going wingless for a bit first.. I think your car could pull it off pretty good.. Plus.. It costs you nothing to check it out. Who knows.. You might like it? But I do like your low rise g-stri.. i mean.. wing. :lol:

I'm 50/50 on leaving it as is and wingless.. So I guess I served no help in this thread hah

My bad

what a sick car, awsome looking man...But i say take the low-rise of and go wingless..so much more stealthy looking. Im taking my gay low rise off soon and going wingless. Everyone around me has a low or high rise so im deff going wingless.
WINGLESS FTW!

oh yeah, and who cares what everyone elese thinks. Its YOUR car, make it how YOU want it...Wingless is sick though...DO IT

the tijn is really close looking to the rk sport. Either way your car is still going to look great

just make sure the cf fits unlike mine. hopefully the warehouse can find another one for me today

Rissa

Yeah that's the only thing I'm nervous about. :) How much on average would it cost to get a hood and trunk painted? Oh and does anyone have pics of carbon fiber on black? Or any painted carbon fiber?
