Well, 1CleanG5 and I bit the bullet tonight and did the Reverse Evo Mod. Got a bit dark when we were done so the completed pic isn't so great and i can't put the grills in yet. Will post better ones tomorrow.








Here are the Eyelids we did yesterday. Ended up running the pinstripe all around the car like some come from the factory.












Also had some extra pin-striping left and got a bit artsy on the wall of our living room.




Next up: Front Evo Mod, Tinted Tails, Tinted Side Markers.

 

looks sick i need to do the evo mods and eyelids

 

rear bumper could look pretty good.. need to see the final/better pic.. but that pinstripe looks awful

 

Not a big fan of eyelids but those look damn sexy!

 

I find the first pic to be absolutely hilarious! I hope your commin to the meet i wanna look for overspray :P

 

Eyelids looks like the Cobalt is high on...???

 

Pcp...?

 

Over spray was the thing i was most worried about with rattle-bombing it. To my surprise, didn't have a single problem with it. The tape raised the slightest but in the bottom left where it curves out, but nothing that i can't fix tomorrow.

Here is what the eyelids looked like originally. Continuing the pin-stripe was kind of a spur of the moment thing just to see how it looked. Ended up liking it so it's staying for now.

 

In my opinion, when the eyelid wraps up and stops at the end of the hood, it gives the car a dopey tired look. But i think it looks aggressive when done the way i did it. Seen it on a few other Balts here and loved it.

 

nube question, are the eylids paint or vynl? Car looks good by the way, like the pin stripe

 

For mine i picked up a can of Dupli-Color Perfect Match Premium Automotive Paint and laid it on thick. I was going to get the Color Matched paint from GM but this was at AutoZone for 1/3 the price. The color is the same, but it came out a bit dull. Had to wax and buff it pretty good.

 

i like the lip nice job man

 

eyelids look awesome, kinda not diggin that pinstripe tho, but it def flows well... the last pic is the best hhahahahahahahah

 

hate eyelids that follow body lines on cobalts. they look awful. Car literally looks like its stoned. Looks like if u asked it a question it would reply with ".....uuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........(extremely long pause).........what?" But i mean A for effort and if u like it roll with it. Maybe u smoke a ton of weed and u roll around high in ur car and u feel like ur 1 with ur car now who knows none of my business. Rear lip looks good. Emblem looks good too but suprised u painted it on the car.

 

I have to agree with Kevin. The eyelids aren't my thing either.

 

I'm glad we did this ****.

 

Eyelids are hit or miss. Some people like them, some people don't. As far as the emblem, i did not plan on painting it on the car, but i had to cover the rear end for the lip anyways and i was able to slide paper/tape behind the emblem all the way around it. That was a lot easier than heating it up, prying it off, painting it, and getting it back on.

I'm glad to get opinions on it all though. Thanks for being honest.

 

I was kinda worried when I saw the title, but it looks damn good

 

you should of just debadged the trunk but thats just what i did. i like the reverse evo mod and u did paint the girls with the gloss black right because it would look right if u didnt.

 

agreed its really not a big deal i might have even done it that way given the circumstances. i find it funny though seeing some1 almost mask up a whole car to spray a little emblem

 

Ha. I just noticed who posted this and had to reply again. You have a very nice Balt. It was one of the first ones i saw on the site and i absolutely loved it. Eyelids look amazing in my opinion, but would pretty much only work on a carbon fiber or black hood, or i would have done something like that. Just wanted to let you know i liked what i saw

 

u see my eyelids on my yellow car?

was originally vinyl on hood and eyelids, then i pearl cleared over it with gold flake to match all the other parts

 

I like those a lot too. Would have never guessed they were vinyl though. Does it stay pretty durable with the clear over it?

 

yea man u paint vinyl just like u paint plastic. Scuff, adhesion promote and spray. it gave me the look i wanted, the UV protection clear offers on the vinyl so it wont break down, and it was still temporary so i could peel it off

 

Gestapo thoses arent Eye lids.. Thoese are eye lashes HAHA jk .. looks Sick
