Not in black. Gunmetal would look better. Something not as big of a contrast to the base color.

it kind of looks like you got sideswiped by a black car... I'm not really feeling it, sorry. But then again, it's all about you. As long as its vinyl you can always take it off if you dont like it, you'll just be out some money

Holy crap, just because you can put **** on the car... does not mean that you should or have to.

Yeah, I would have to say no to graphics on a car unless you have some professional graphics from a big sponsor on there

im curious as to why you guys think that?

remember, just because YOU dont like something....does not make it rice.

if he likes it. and its done properly, not halfassed....then who the **** are you people to say its "rice"

next time just say "I dont like it"
because contrary to popular belief....your opinion isnt the be all and end all of taste.

Hey Brian? Tell us how you really feel!! I just think certain graphics are just played out. The suttle look is more attractive. You don't want negative attention when you put something on your car to stand out from the crowd. Maybe some rims will balance it out, and the key word is "balance", not overly done. Those to me are just, overpowering the Cobalt. Like SMITH in the MATRIX revolutions trying to overpower Neo.

I have been debating doing graphics on my car for a while now. My buddy works at Terryville Chevy and he put Silverado graphics on a SS/SC and they look nice. I am going tomorrow to see if i want to get them. Take a closer look, and see if the colors will look good. He put them on a yellow SS/SC i have a lazer blue SS/SC.

Personally, I don't like visual mods unless there are a shitload of good performance mods to back them up.

The cars from the lastest movies are all Graphics and wings n ****. However, they are all 300+ Whp tuner cars.

Personally the NISMO and the RX-7 in 3Fast are the nicest tuner's so far. The Red EVO is nice as well, but stickers on a Rust Colored SS is just not working for me.

I personally dont like any stickers or vinyl on the side, as I think it takes focus away from the cleanliness of cars . But to each their own, if you did vinyl your car at least try to make it a little smaller But I would rather see a clean balt then a vinyled thing one

Yeah if you don't have an extra $10k lying around to completely rebuild and turbo your engine then you might as well be driving a Civic.


Ok sarcasm off. I don't like the graphics but that is just my opinion ofcourse. The Cobalt is no an import tuner. It is not a muscle car. It is somewhere in between and the trick to modding it is finding that fine line between the two.

No offense meant btw, Brian MP5T. Your car is slick. Love the work you've done while still keeping the exterior very subtle.
