I have all my badges still. I was thinking of putting one of my SS badges were the bowtie is in the front maybe.

 

I am having trouble taping the curve........damn it!

 

the problem is the 4 holes that are in the cross bar over the grille. No matter how many different badges you select, at least one or 2 of the holes will show. It's up to you though.

patience and time. I was so **** when taping mine off. I used think painter's tape and pulled on it real hard as I was going around the curves.

The hard part is making sure the lines are coming out on the same angle and measuring the same distance when going onto the front lip.

I was even MORE **** when did the fog lights. Measured 4 1/4" on each side from the lower grille opening.

 

lmao! i was messing with you man when i said screw yourself. I posted that pic up in my wingless thread and every1 and their mother pointed out it was crooked

i HATED taping that curve. and i still have a tiny overspray is where the bump comes to a 90* angle from the bumper to the bottom lip. I taped it real good and pushed the tape in that crevice with a flathead but somehow it just got in their. Not a big deal, i can probobly take a razor and make it perfect. but its something i barely even notice. but yea its a pain in the ass to tape that

 

How did you guys do this mod? I was thinking about doing it on mine.

 

To your csrt4?

 

I don't really think that looks good but to each his own.

I saw on an srt4 forum where some guys are doing it to their neon. Maybe that'll give you some ideas.

 

its paint man. you gotta tape off the parts of the bumper you dont wanna paint, then sand the part you do wanna paint, prime, paint, and clear.... There really isnt a how-to needed for this.

 

I scuffed (didn't sand) and then used engine enamel paint

 

works just as good

 

Bingo! I just need to be careful drying the car since I did my fog lights and the painted area is higher than the factory paint. I have a rubber squeege that I dry the car off with. Looks like I'll be using the shammy on that area

 

Ya, I think it might look good.

I was thinking vinyl instead of painting. Paint is kind of permanent.

 

Vinyling is more of a PITA to install than you might think. I'm good with vinyl, but with all of the openings on the cobalt lip, it just wasn't worth it to me (too much cutting for the small "pillars", etc.).

Your CSRT4 is easier though since it's just a lip with no openings.

 

Exactly why painting this kinda **** sucks. Best way to do it is to reclear the entire bumper so its all level, and also a big reason why i sanded. I figured if I lowered the surface where im going to paint, then the difference in the end wouldnt be as drastic. I wound up putting so much paint on to keep it from chipping it still sits at a big height difference. I am delicate on it 4 damn sho

 

where can you get some good vinyl from? Autozone vinyl sucks ass...

 

Yeah, I hear ya man. Now I have to be even MORE **** when I was the car .

You and I went the same route with paint, I did about 4 layers probably (mind you engine enamel is thicker) as to not get any rock chips. I know I'm gonna be pissed when that first big bug splats on it.

Re-clearing the entire bumper was wayy too much time for me to invest. Plus, the probability of me not getting the bumper 100% as it was stock was greater. I chose the quicker and "safer" route.

Any "sign" vinyl will work perfect as it's meant to withstand the weather.

here's a good site: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=...num=4&ct=image

click on new products and then down to high performance vinyl

3m makes some good vinyl..... edit, they stopped making vinyl

 

good stuff. Thanks for the info.

When I get the $$ I will buy some and post the pics up.

 

no problem! be sure to use a heat gun and some water mixed with a tiny amount of dishsoap so you can move it around, then heat and squeege it out!

 

I would fill those holes in. That would drive me nuts.

 

the holes do suck, ive seen where sum1 blacked out the bowtie and then painted the ss on it, looked pretty sweet

after I put the LNF grilles in mine, Im going to paint he bowtie black with red around it, and possible have sum1 do caligraphy on the bowtie itself

l8r,
PD

 

i thought of doing vinyl but, i was like screw that pita with the bottom air dam.....painting seamed easier....

 

heres mine...

 

looks good man! I would have done the bar across the middle, just my opinion though

 

yea i may do that.. i just actually got my car back from the dealership today it was there for a week cause i broke the roll pin for the 2nd time. they just fixed it 4 weeks ago thas the messed up part, so hopely they did it right this time and i dont have to go back there in another 4 weeks.

 

Has anyone done a silver evo mod on a black SS yet?? Im considering doing just under the lower grill, not the fogs, and not the bar on the upper grill. Please post pics if anyone has done this! thanks!
