If I bought a BMW or a new acura I probably wouldn't even have money for food or paint none the less.
I think that BMW and Acura and Mercedes do a much better job making the interiors look awesome and not cheaper than a chinese toy factory.

I've noticed, over the years, the only people that like painting their interior are people with plastic interiors. I don't mean to bash on cobalts or their owners but you don't see people with g35's, lexus's, mercedes or even the current line of Acura owners painting their interior. It could also be that younger owners are the cause of this.

I painted my trim a dark gray, and only people that know the color of the interior of a cobalt would ever know the difference. there's a fine line between nice and going overboard when it comes to painting stuff on the car though.
i painted mine because the cheap ass paint was peeling off.

I painted mine vic red but just the trim going across the front of the dash and arround the radio/havic controls. I think it looks good and most people that have seen mine like it.

I bought the victory red interior trim pieces from CED (not the ones with the lightning bolts) and I really like them. Brings a little splash of color to the inside of the car, and definitely looks better than stock.
I looked on the site to link a picture, and saw that they raised the prices by like $35 lol.. and the pics are tiny so its not worth it to link them.

black trim would look alright but then its boring as hell again inside. lol.
And black balt, what happened to the rest of the trim and the right side of the glove box trim? not finished yet?

i do agree some look rice but to make a general statement like that about fellow cobalt enthusiasts is why we get bad names cuz retards that make fun of their own cars are stupid...second off black on black doesnt look dumb solid color...ur taking the extreme opposite of that without consulting or doing ur proper research..............

people call it rice cuz years ago , all honda, toyota etc etc. owners had to whole interior from seats to carpet to steering wheel match. that i think is rice. just having your trim painted and not over doing it isnt rice. people definition of rice has changed throughout the years.
