So... that would be a sticker on top of a sticker, huh?

Unless you went through the trouble of removing the original piece...

ok thanks the pic in your gallery is much better and they do look good, i plan on doing the pillars looking into mirrors and deff getting the same hood as you, and the carbon fiber trunk as well, and ive purchased the cobalt addiction X3 fenders also... the cobalts going on a diet

so how was the fitment on that hood? it is a VIS INVADER 2 right? where did you get it from?

Yea its the invader...it fits good just the hood prop makes to where you shut it the thing wont line up right cause its built to support the factory hood which is heavier. So if you want it to fit right take it off. The quality is awesome! I got it off ebay couldnt find anyone cheaper. The side pillars are good i actually had that guy make my spark plug cover out of the same stuff.

Oh, believe me, I'm very aware of that fact, too.

BTW, I was also just kidding, hence the wink.

But whatever. Carbon fiber overlays just seem silly to me. Might as well wrap your hood and trunk in some of that cheap carbon fiber vinyl crap... That'll probably give you at least, oh, 15 hp to the wheels?

CF pillers is just for looks, so i feel if its real CF, its all good, i think it looks good, but 70 bucks is steep

i agree about the $70. Just order some on ebay and cut it yourself and do it yourself for less than half the price. This is what im thinking about doing on my black cobalt.
