I was at a car show a few weeks ago and some guys have those leather car bra things and they put them on to drive around, and take them off to show. Kind of extreme I thought. BTW it was on one of those new T-birds

I don't plan on doing this on my car, but I really like this mod. The only thing I am not to wild about is when people paint the fog light indentions, IMO its just distracting and takes away from the look. I would like to see a full and better pic of a black car with this done in flat black. It won't stand out as much as the others but will give a nice, subtle, cool look.
gonna do my rims like this

painting your bumper with spray paint does not in any way shape or form resemble anything on an evo...

whoa now that you broke out the pics i might have mistaken a cobalt with some spray paint on it's bumper for an evo x... this further proves my point.

I told you why its called the "evo mod" because of the lip being painted in a similar fashion to the evo 10. No one is ganna change the name just because some evo owner thinks it has nothing to do with evos. me posting those pics does not prove your point in any way. It shows you (what you cant comprehend) that the lips are painted in a similar manor.
and your not trying to argue? most of your posts are bashing cobalt owners now because you think you are all big and bad with your new car LOL.
I only posted because it sounded like you were ganna cry because someone else used the word evo.

haha you assume because i dont like the name of your spray paint mod that i am thinking i am big and bad with my "new" car??? i guess that goes to show that even though i still talk to and hang out with cobalt owners i am just to big and bad to approve of a retarded ass name for some spray paint on a bumper? well i guess all i can say now is how dare you as a cobalt owner talk to me an EVO owner in that manner? tisk tisk, my ego is way too over inflated from my awd turbo chassis to take this sort of talk from some fwd econobox driving wannabe...

Is there any other car that has the bottom lip painted black like that? I mean we could call it the "bottom bumper lip painted black in the middle" mod since the guy with the evo thinks we are trying to make our cobalts into evo's. Or we can just keep calling it the evo mod, because there's nothing truely wrong with calling it that
