When I show the car the hood is open & I can't stand the gap behind the headlights where the mounting brackets are. I decided to go with a satin black , I might have the silver & black checker like the sides of my car who knows . I still need to drill the hole's where the stock brackets are to secure it, put back in the molding pins, but you get the idea!
When these are done I will start a new thread to show the install & finished product, if the interest is there we can get these mass produced, they will fit any cobalt & I believe any cobalt with aftermarket lights also due to the body line of the hood stays the same!
The 1st thing I have to do is take them out for a ride at 80 or so & make sure they dont rub the hood or anything, which I will be doing Sat morning for a show.

Updated Pictures
I sanded them & Painted it with black primer & I think they might look good in Satin Black. It almost makes it look like they came with the car! Now I can't decide black or yellow!

 

i like that! for some reason i have like 5 leaves stuck down mine and you can see my hornets nest of wires from the projectors

 

i dont c anything wrong with this idea if done right it could look really nice but y the sharp point???

 

Yea paint that bitch yellow and it would be super clean. Goood idea man.

 

im doing this 2moro

color matched FTW

 

Good idea but I think it would look better in a black plastic like the piece next to it

 

That sharp point is the corner of the headlight bracket, I have enough room to round the corners if I decide to keep them!

 

good idea

 

Thats what I was leaning to or taking them to the painter & having the checkered flag painted on the to match the outside!

Hey now no coping, atleast till I'm done!

 

i got the day off and i got some metal just sitting around

i really want to do it with plastic but it would be way harder

 

I was thinking about putting dimpled leather on there then painting it.. it would have almost the same texture as the stock plastics! Plus I don't know how to do it in plastic... wish I did because I have the piece to be molded!

 

That looks sweet. I might have to make some of them sometime

 

TY , I guess tomorrow I'll have to finish them & get some colored matched paint at the begining of the week!

 

*Waiting for color matched pics mid week*

 

like it

 

polish it....and then paint it yellow leaving a polished chevy logo on each side

 

looks like it would be bad ass in a black

 

Agreed!

I think it will look very clean. More clean than stock for sure!

 

You could start making these and selling them on ebay lol

 

i would buy them to cover up that mess of wires from my projectors!

 

i say paint that thing black. good idea man. looks tight

 

TY & Yea I think I'm leaning now towards Satin Black, I just posted Pictures of them in black primer & I kinda like the way it looks!

Yea I think you are right!

 

I hear Group Buy!

 

Yea right, I don't know if I can make that many by hand....but I did make the 2nd one in about 20 minutes. Then the sanding & paint

 

Send them out plain, we'll do the rest!
