But you're close to it, and sleepers are cooler than rice.

I like stripes. They would have to be just right though. Reminds me of the old SS cars.
I am also thinking of the roll strip on the side like that myself.

Dont listen to anyone here other then for suggestions. If you do anything like a sticker on the side or different rims or anything people will scream "RICE". Its your car do whatcha like.

I know there is a yellow SS around here with black stripes and i think it looks tight. I think there is a cobalt or a saturn with those door stickers too and i think that looks just as smooth. Whatever you decide to do make sure you post up some pics.

Thanks I might order stripes and a custom side vendor kit featuring my mods for my car tomorrow

I think the combination of the two would look sick

I have black painted headlights, thats why i want the stripes, if my lights werent painted i'd get white stripes, but i have to keep the theme going (Black on Red)

either way, anything that sticks to your car will get you flamed on here. I think it has the possibility to look good, if done right. My advice would be to take pics of your car and photoshop the decals and **** to see how it looks. but remember, don't ****** worry what other people think. they don't drive it, you do. Your the one that has to walk out of your house every morning and look at it, but that's how i see it, and afterall, what do i know? I'm just an engineering student. either way...good luck

I think 8" would be too wide for the cobalt. I would probably go smaller, perhaps 6" or maybe 4".

Do what you want though, it's your ride.

I think rally stripes would look good. Decals are also a really cheap alternative to a custom paint job these days. Cheap and if you don't like 'em, it's easy to remove AND you didn't drop thousands on a custom job.

That wouldn't be rice! Rally stripes hail back to Z-28's from the 60's - about as far from rice as you can get!

Do what you want, it is your car. These items will make your car unique looking from the rest of the other Cobalts out there. I have been toying with the ideal of placing ECOTEC decals on the side of my Cobalt. (Yes...the ones on ebay) I don't think placing tasteful stripes and decals on a car makes it "rice".
