Every time I see pics of a clean ass black SS on this site I go, dammit, why didn't I get a black car.

Then I look outside and see the daily struggle my neighbour has to keep her black G5 GT clean. Then I'm like... I'm good.

My only beef with the stock wheels is that the stars are shiny as **** and the edge are meh. It's like they though a 50/50 mix of chrome (well polished aluminum) and aluminum would look good--it doesn't.

Cant wait till my car looks like these.Im making my LS into a SS/NA clone .My favorite rear bumper!

Meh, the stock wheels aren't that bad. The wheel gap makes them look much worse. G5 GT wheels are much nicer though.

im thinking about plasti dippin the side skirts and the back bumper.... along with evo mod... too much rice?

manny45

I think so man... but thats the beauty of plasti dip u dont like it u can take it off. I did the evo mod last night and that is all I will do.

StevoElSupremo

really? I dont like the SS N/A rear bumper, it looks too much like the LT/LS bumper...

anyways, someone thought my bumper could use some styling changes and decided to smash it real good one day while I was in class...

So I bought a Zen fiberglass rear bumper off a guy for 200bucks and I'm going to have that put on there, I have the SS Lip at the front as well, so it should all flow pretty good I think.

******* eh? I remember once in highschool, I got out of class early and I went to the parking lot to get into my (then Protege) when I saw a guy with a bat beating the crap out of it. OMG.. the **** I did on that day, mannnnn.

I hate little bitches who get their ***** off of other peoples misery.

Custom Vinyl Overlay on the Bowtie, Vinyl Overlay on the cross beam and Evo mod done myself. Shorty Antenna done myself. Calipers done myself. Intake was done as well as some more hidden mods.

I love the way it looks now, especially dropped =)

Drew.4L

i noticed the vinyl white on the back window, i want to get something like that done to cover up my dot matrix, but id want it on the inside lol

Hammbones

I didn't put it on the inside because you still run the risk of the vinyl not adhering to the dot matrix. and it makes the rear window a little less huge. All I really need to do is Eyelids, Brake install and rear sway bar install. After that its powertrain time after the warrantly expires =)

some nice 2.4 not many around here not many ss cobalts around here period....iv seen like 3 other NA cobalts like 4 S/C and 1 t/c

Drew.4L

I actually did not do the vinyl myself. It was my first mod on the car and I had my tinter do it for free (Well, I bought him lunch). My wife put it through automatic wash places for a year while I was gone (Deployed) and no flaking or peeling, not even bubbling. Its a little bit duller than the car but its very subtle difference of dullness. You have to get right up on top of it to see the difference.

The only mods I have not done to my car is the Powder coat rims and the suspension (I had that installed so if it goes bad because of a bad install, I can fry the guy who put it on since he guaranteed the labor for life.

Next week my R1 Concept Eline Slotted+Drilled Rotors and PosiQuiet Ceramics are getting installed along with my Powell Street Bar. While its getting that stuff done, I'm tinting the side markers and tails. I've pretty much given up on a skyline tail mod because I would essentially have to buy the assembly from VW and then butcher it to get it to work properly unless I found a really kick ass junkyard with newer cars.

White is a pretty easy color to match for vinyl though, It might be better to put Black Vinyl on the inside of your window because of the color of your car. Vinyl is cheaper too, about $7 a square foot.

Drew.4L

yeah, i was gonna go with black it matches pretty well, ive done my tails and even painted the headlight housing black as well.. yeah i have some bubbling from the tint guys, i should just go back there and get it fixed since i have lifetimewarranty. yeah that skyline mod seems like a ton of extra visual work. im gonna do the evo mod with plastidip and the wheels as well, im tired of the shiny on black look

and@Kripple, i love the G5 GT wheels, the spokes are way thinner than cobalt wheels, if i had those i wouldnt even cover them in black

Please don't Plasti-Dip your wheels. The first time you get a balance / rotation (If they actually do it right by taking the tire off the wheel) they will peel all of it off with the machine.

Just save up for a powder coat job (It cost me $50 / Wheel) and it looks awesome if you're going for the black wheeled look.
