My body shop wants to charge me a buttload to do this, but I actually asked for a local member to help him out. I'm keeping mine stock.

has anyone used vinyl for the "evo" mod? I'm weary about painting it, and would rather have something that i could take off if desired...

I'm not really sure how well this will be taken, but I am an artist, and I think the black ss ppl should try chrome... I mean it works for v dub... I think it'll look pretty good. And yes they have chrome paint.

I've been considering this in Ultra Silver Metallic (wheel color). Would probably work as well as anything on black.

I think the best thing for black cobalts to do, is not ******* paint an evo mod. If you must, do FLAT BLACK.


IMO

Well I'm not a fan of chrome either. Maybe someone with photoshop can post a pic of what it would look like. I rattle canned my base model and haven't had a problem yet except for when someone hit my car in a parking lot and didn't leave a note :-l
