Re-paiting the Cobalt.....maybe.
So I'mthinking about re-painting the car and I have the colors picked out and yes I'm thinking of doing a 2 tone scheme on the car and I figured what the hell I may as well get new bumpers for it too. Here's me plan I wanted to run past you guys and see #1 how it sounds and #2 if anyone could do a photo shop (tho as much as I want I'm not holding my breath) First off for the paint I'm looking at House of Color Raspberry Pearl Metallic for the lower portion and Black Frost Pearl Metallic for the top portion with the body line serving as the dividing point. My carbon fiber hood will be painted to match the Raspberry Pearl lower portion of the car. For bumpers I'm leaning towards the BC2 front bumper but I'm stuck when it comes to the rear one so if ANYONE has any suggestions they are welcomed. Now for the spoiler I'm considering going one of 2 ways so again suggestions are welcomed and if you have a different one you'd like me to consider just post it up! First would be the SS high rise wing in caron fiber from CA or the low profile RK spoiler. I know the RK piece would require work to get it to fit my sedan but I think it can be done! As for the remaining custom work that I will do to the bumpers and car thats gonna be kept secret for now as I don't want to spoil the surprise OR have someone steal my ideas before I get them done. Now this project isn't gonna happen over night this is gonna take me a while to do, I'm hoping to have it done by the end of next summer or maybe the early fall.
As for performance, well lets just say the car won't be all looks.
But thats a secret fr now as well.

The red is deeper then mine and the black has almost a carbon fiber color to it. Does that help?Yes the colors will be split with a chrome pinstripe similer to how I have the hood done and tieing in the chrome rims.

Razen your the best! The red is Shimrin designer pearl series PBC34 Razberry and the black is PBC43 black. I guess I heard the name wrong but they were both pearls sooo.
thats why I said its gonna take me a while to do it all.

Neither am I per-say thats why I'm looking for ideas for subtle good looking rear bumpers. The BC2 front bumper is REALLY nice looking but the rear I'm kinda stuck on.

sounds like a good color scheme to me. I just don't know if in real life any two tone would look good butted up against each other. You might need a neutral colored pin stripe to seperate them.perhaps white or a charcoal gray?
