There is an easier way to do the trunk lock. If you look up in the trunk lit, there is a silver retaining clip like thing with a tab on it. All you have to do is yank on that tab and the whole trunk lock mechanism will fall out. Then paint it and place it back in. Heres mines: Thanks xxxxsh4d0wxxxx



I was thinking about and looking into painting the cobalt letters on the back of my car too...still a little iffy on it though

You should do a groub buy for the vinyls in liquid dome!!!
I want them bad but i just cant justify spending 30 for some vinyls... 20 would be okay, but 30 is just too much for me when I can get the original for 12...

I have my turbocharged badge in black. Doing it in red. I did that to my GM badges as well.

Ever finish that turbocharged badge?

Also, I ordered a set of liquid domed SS badges from Motor city vinyl. They're awesome, they just don't fit. Is my SS like handicapped? I swear I don't think I'll ever find a set of vinyls that fit. Haha

what i came across was when I did my ss badge in red with the overlays...they didn't fit because I guess I bought the 05-07 ones...instead of the 08-09 ones. I guess the badges have slight differences in size?

But yeah, the SS emblems aren't even that big of a deal. I just don't feel like sanding down each letter of the COBALT emblem. I just want to find them already done in black. Anyone ever seen them?
I also bought from house of grafx, and they did not fit. However, I sent him the TC badges and he made new ones of the right size (I guess they are slightly smaller?)
He also made the interior mini SS overlays for me, so the pics you see are of my car

I just ordered a set of vinyls for my 09! Hopefully they fit cause I have bought way to many of these SS inlays and none have fit, so if any one is looking for some for the ss/sc I have lots!
