I had a 2007 ls i had just wrecked and totaled so i figure i would start off fresh with a new one. I was just wanting to know how many of you guys like the new racing strips on the new 08 lt1.

 

idk, but i like mine since i did them myself with vinyl.

 

Looks pretty sweet, I'd like to have that bowtie!

 

lol...u can. Pep Boys. 20 dollars for a carbon fiber vinyl roll, and 2.50 for a krylon clear coat. U just measure out the bow tie (a couple inches), cut a rectangle out, wash the bow tie, and apply the vinyl. Take a scalpel/hobbie knife, and cut around the chrome piece...TA DA! Take a lighter and melt it quickly so it adheres better, and melt the ends. Now just spray the clear coat...And u get the finished product. ^^^ I'm an expert with vinyl. I wrapped my trim between the dashboard and the glove box/under the steering wheel with carbon fiber. looks sick. look at my pics in my gallery.

 

You could probably make those and sell them to members for profit. I would buy one...

 

but what are your option on the new special edtions cobalts?

 

The yellow special edition with black stripes looks good, blue with white would look good also. I just don't like how GM used the LS bumper on the LT

 

ya but wudn't i have to b a vendor in order to do that? i mean, i'd more than gladly cf/paint ur guys bowties for a profit. i just dunno how i'd go about doing it.

 

i wish mine came with the fog lights but oh well

 

Easy... make a bunch, then sell them in the classifieds section. It has been done before.... How much would it cost to get one? And have you tried doing a rear one yet? PM me if youre interested...

 

well, i'd have to check bc i could go through the dealer and buy them. i haven't done the rear ones because i broke mine in half prying it off while de-badging. lemme see what prices i can get and if it's cost efficient. thank you for being interested. the way i'll prob do it is a single bowtie would b one price while the dual would be another. Cf/painted, whichever.

 

Depending on the price of the bowties, it might also be cost efficient to do an exchange of the stock bowties, if thats possible. ie I could send you mine, you do the labor, then ship them back to me. This is of course assuming that the shipping is less than the new bowtie cost, and that they don't get messed up getting taken off

 

Meh... don't overpay for some dealer-riced "special edition" car... get a nicely optioned "regular" model and do some modding yourself... you'll save money in the long run.

 

x2. ^^ if the special edition comes with the stripes n like a billet grill...lmao! i made my stripes with a 35 dollar roll of vinyl that was left over from my car clubs vinyls. n if u want a grill...buy some black gutter mesh and paint it. i did that a while ago n it looked tight. then i got into an accident n i thought painted the oem grill would look sweeter.

As for the bowties. Let me see. I made a post in the lounge asking people if they would want me to do it. The thing is that I wanna get alot of interest before investing alot of time that I don't have into it, ya know?

 

Say What You Want I Like The Looks Of The Strips And It Comes With The 16inch Alloys You Can Only Get On The Lt2

 

I love mine i just wish i could have found a 5speed SE but iam not crying over it cuz i love it =]

 

Is that what I see in your signature?? They put stripes on the wing? If so... that's sinful.

 

At my local dealer they have a yellow 5 speed SE With black stripes. It looks sweet.
