Just some printed vinyl that I covered all my dash pieces in!!

 

Hair dryer, fishing line, goo gone in that order.

 

This.

You can also use a small plastic putty knife if you are careful and use the most important tool of all...patience

 

yeah i actually went with the hairdryer.... i had to borrow one since im black, i dont own one... and just used my fingers to get it off.... now just the goo gone step.

 

leds along the front bumper down low, if you don't have fogs. kinds like what audi did with their headlights

 

lol cute

 

how did you go about doing this? i want to do the same, but with maybe another design, or the carbon fiber look....

 

I don't know if you guys would consider this a cheap mod, but today I was getting parts for my Jeep at a local junk yard. I mentioned that I had a Pontiac G5 and the guy told me there was a totaled one and 2 wrecked Cobalts in the back. He told me that for $15 I could take anything that I could carry out.

Got me some new trim, some new door bezels, some new badges, and various other toys.

 

dude thats awesome. its rare for a cobalt to come into the junkyards up here. and certainly wouldn't be all you can carry for $15

 

I went to the local sticker shop and they printed the design on some vinyl. It is pretty sticky but the best thing is heating up the vinyl with a hairdryer. The heat makes it sticker and more manageable. You can stretch it around the corners and it reduces air bubbles when heated. Hope this helps!

usb mod. great idea and mix that with this...

and now you have a few usb chargers and a usb plugin for your car all in a tidy little spot

 

a local sticker shop? hmmm like, a fedex/kinkos? i guess if i could find a carbon fiber pattern perhaps i can go about doing my interior, instead of using paint, but fleckstone is a really good idea.

 

I don't know about fedex/kinkos does stuff like that. Try a place that makes vinyl stickers for business vehicles or big signs. Painting is a good idea too! Good thing about the vinyl is that you can always take it off without damaging your dash.

 

exactly, i dont want anything permanent inside... and i went to fedex/kinkos and they made printout stickers for me once, but if its vinyl then ill have to look for a place then. carbon fiber look ftw

 

does anyone have the part number for the moog swaybar end links, i work for a parts store p/t now and we carry the moog end links i just can't find the part number for our car. fyi i'm an 07 2.4

 

The pics of my wingless trunk are finally up sorry for the delay guys ive been traveling alot and been extremely busy let me know what you think. And the lowering of sportlines is on there also in my album.

 

I know right man? It worked out real well for me, and there were actually quite a few so uh, if anybody needs parts I'll just charge a little bit of a dumpster diving fee + shipping.

By the way, my old CF style trim is for sale...

 

CF=Carbon fiber? what kinda trim?

 

add football mod to list.. for launch traction

 

Crown Royal bag for a shifter boot.

 

I just installed an MPX Shorty antenna. It was like $20. Made a HUGE difference in the car's appearance. It even seems to compliment the ridiculous spoiler.

 

indeed i saw the very same antenna... ill definitely look into that next.. so was the installation hard?

 

The hardest part was getting the other one off. You'll want to use two wrenches / pliers, one to hold the antenna bracket in the trunk and one to twist the antenna. It took like 5 - 10 minutes. Reception seems to be about the same, but i never listed to the radio anyway.

 

does anybody make clear side markers for our cars yet???

 

I might have missed it, but did anyone ever say Window tint?

I got mine done for less than $200, which when you're talking about turbos and catback systems comes out pretty cheap.
