View Full Version : Trunk options?
Rissa 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?

xyankees214x 05-28-2009, 07:26 PM 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 05-28-2009, 07:27 PM Yeah pretty much NO ONE around here has the little wing like me lol.
hinow41 05-28-2009, 07:28 PM 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.
tony2toness/sc 05-28-2009, 07:29 PM Carbonfiber would look nice plus light weight lol
hinow41 05-28-2009, 07:30 PM Oh and I vote low rise. If everyone around you has high. everyone up here has a base model with a low rise.
Rissa 05-28-2009, 07:30 PM 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.

Brandon97Z 05-28-2009, 07:31 PM go wingless
hatrickstu 05-28-2009, 07:31 PM painted cf, or stock wingless
blk ss/sc 1 05-28-2009, 07:32 PM love ur car.. makes me kinda miss mine.. I would go wingless fo sho!@
Rissa 05-28-2009, 07:33 PM Thank you! :) I love my car, it's my baby.
ssyellow 05-28-2009, 07:36 PM leave it, looks great!
juststickit124 05-28-2009, 07:40 PM wingless for sure, and if you want a OEM CF hood I might be able to get you a good deal on one, we'll talk sunday
revhigh18 05-28-2009, 07:47 PM carbon fiber for sure
haymakercobalt 05-28-2009, 07:54 PM Carbon fiber on a black car doesn't look very good in my opinion. It sort of looks dirty from far away.
Brandon97Z 05-28-2009, 07:56 PM btw i really love your car
06_SIC_SS 05-28-2009, 08:22 PM 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. :)
Stevo 05-28-2009, 08:38 PM I like the low rise, change of pace. Shave the lock off too if youd like! I just did mine, theres pics in my gallery, looks great!
tru2nrtt777 05-28-2009, 09:48 PM Wingless. It is the sex... or CF painted black... which would appear wingless til you open the hood
mrsilent13 05-28-2009, 09:50 PM Yeah pretty much NO ONE around here has the little wing like me lol.
well blake had the low wing but you sold him the HR
fakameanrepresent 05-28-2009, 09:52 PM i would go with carbon fiber
KyleMinnis 05-28-2009, 09:56 PM leave it or even go high rise ;)
your rims are soooo sickk
06_SIC_SS 05-28-2009, 10:01 PM 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.
Chinelli3589 05-28-2009, 10:27 PM I personally like the low rise spoiler. IMO I don't think black and CF go good together. Rims look sick btw
Cobalt2921 05-28-2009, 10:28 PM Leave it. SS/TC with low rise is FTW.
Cptn Pants 05-28-2009, 10:42 PM Why no love for the lip? If i was going to ditch my low rise i'd go for a lip.

Rissa 05-28-2009, 10:45 PM 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? :)
jlong3382 05-28-2009, 10:47 PM Personally...............I like how the SS balts look wingless.
06_SIC_SS 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.
CobaltSS 16 05-28-2009, 11:36 PM wingless!

blk ss/sc 1 05-29-2009, 01:56 AM i hate the rk sport in person.. wingless much cleaner looking
Rissa 05-29-2009, 01:57 AM Damn that does look good.
Brandon97Z 05-29-2009, 02:00 AM Puts the rksport to shame i think....sleaker, less bulky
Rissa 05-29-2009, 02:02 AM What is it, how much.

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
Rissa 05-29-2009, 11:10 AM Damn that's a lot of money lol.
ShortStack 05-29-2009, 11:13 AM I perosnally think wingless makes these cars look crappy and cheap.
ChriSS/SC 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
Rissa 05-29-2009, 11:25 AM Lol it's ok, you were a great help. :P
Ercegs07SS 05-29-2009, 11:36 AM 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!
-Justin
oh yeah, and who cares what everyone elese thinks. Its YOUR car, make it how YOU want it...Wingless is sick though...DO IT
Mazdaboi318 05-29-2009, 11:38 AM i personally like wingless....
when i drop her and put rims on....im going wingless!
juststickit124 05-29-2009, 11:40 AM you know the 3 piece RK sport spoiler wouldn't look too bad either. just a thought

hahahahaha
Rissa 05-29-2009, 12:59 PM Jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz lol I'm leaning towards keeping it, or gettin cf stuff and painting that. I love the Tjin one though..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm.

just go cf wayyyy better
Mazdaboi318 05-29-2009, 01:13 PM CF on a black car...im still sceptical
Rissa 05-29-2009, 01:15 PM It would be painted black.
juststickit124 05-29-2009, 02:02 PM the tijn is really close looking to the rk sport. Either way your car is still going to look great
HB_SS/TC 05-29-2009, 02:09 PM just make sure the cf fits unlike mine. hopefully the warehouse can find another one for me today
Rissa 05-29-2009, 02:14 PM 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?
HB_SS/TC 05-29-2009, 02:34 PM Ask this guy to get more pics
