Recently have been doing some upgrades to the exterior. Added fender stripes done up in 3M Di-Noc and plasti dipped the rims, blacked out the headlights mainly to tie everything together ( evo and grille mod). Whatcha guys think?

BEFORE



AFTER

 

 

Fail.

 

Yall can blow me. Its fixed

 

looks great, look like riceburner!

 

I like the rims and evo mod.. the stripes im undecided on. But i like how it's done in cf!

 

need some better pictures in the day time. can't really see the front at all. but hey i'm sure it looks good. as long as you don't tell people thats real cf lol

 

Aww thanks. I LOVE your color car. Sadly, i couldnt find an SS in that color.

Yeah, its a love it or hate it thing around here. I will say i got into a nice debate with my friend over it. He insisted i was copying dodge cars. Actually, the same guy involved in the epic Charger vs Cobalt race thread awhile ago.

Well no, hence the Di-Noc statement in the thread...

And yeah, i havent really had a day off since i got everything put on to take good day pics. It happened over a weeks time (fender stripes, then lights, then wheels). Plus its still on 4x4 status.

 

when you look at that first pic with the beautiful shiny wheels on silver paint do you not regret dipping them? :/ I love stock SS chrome wheels, they're beautiful, I find spraying them flat black cheapens the cars look.

but beyond the wheels I LOVE everything else, the headlights, lower bar and fender stripes look fantastic

 

Says the guy with the riced out slobalt LS

 

Nah black is definately better than chrome with these wheels especoally on silver.

Looks good, op. Alot like my car actually..

When the car was stock, yeah, i enjoyed the stock polished rims. It was actually a requirement when i purchased the car. G85, polished, sunroof, heated seats were all non-negotiable.

However, with the evo mod and upper grille mod as well as the stripes, the wheels began to look out of place and bling blingy. Things got even worse when i installed the headlights.






It just looks really awkward. I feel the plasti dipped wheels really pulled the look together. I also purchased the Glossifier for the dip, but i've yet to coat the rims in it. Im actually debating.


Ha, yeah, they do resemble each other.

 

You made yourself look extremely stupid. 162 Posts and he's half way to Cobe status.

 

Everyone knows LS cobalts are actually better anyway

 

looks good but it bugs the **** out of me when the fender stripes dont match the same angle as the fender body line by the headlight.. im picky though



OP knows what I'm talking about

 

Well i have way more posts than him and i thought we was being a dick personally...calling my car a riceburner...sooo yeah

haha, yeah, that is a pet peeve of mine. HAD to follow the fender/bumper cut.

 

Way too much angle. I let the vinyl guy decide on the angle and width of mine and I think they turned out great.

 

Mine are the angle they are because i ordered them 'for a cobalt' off ebay and thought id have enough material to.meet the angle... But didnt

 

Well that sucks. How much did you pay? Mine was free 99

 

Lmfao!!! Nice burn Eric! ss ftw

 

Ehh.. 39 bucks or something? i just wanted them cuz they were precut, seemed the right thickness (which i am happy with, i don't like the thin stripes much) and had the pinstripes on either side. but they would have needed to be about 5" longer to meet that headlight angle

 

you guys are making me look into grand sport stripes now.... darn you all...

 

I like em. I got them done right by only going on the left fender. Went with flat black. It's almost invisible most the time but from the right angle they show up nicely.
