evo guys i know will take this as a compliment. they are not cobalt fans but wouldn't mind having some cobalt owners trying to make their cars look like theirs.

Thought I had a picture of it finished, but this is it for now





and my new bowtie look

I gotta do the bottom grill gloss black, but i was thinking about getting a stencil and putting a faint SS in it. like getting an SS vinyl, laying it over it and painting the grill gloss black. When i take it off everything will be glossy and the SS will be flat. Thought that might be pretty cool. Want to put it in it somehow, originally thought yellow but that would be way too bright, so thought like 2 different shades of black or something.
