okay so ive been back and forth about getting some racing stripes put on the cobalt. if i did, it would be vinyl first (to make sure i like them) then get them painted on this summer.


This is my car as it is now. Imperial Blue Metallic


Here's examples of how my stripes would look. using forza 4
Option 1:I'd go with silver stripes from bumper to bumper 8-10" wide


Here is option 2: same as option 1, just with 1/4" pinstriping on the outsides


Just looking for some feedback (good or bad). thanks guys (and gals)

 

I like option2 however I have factory stripes on my 08 lt and I keep getting the thought of taking them off for the clean look. So Im kinda up in the air here lol

 

yeah i hear ya, thats the same situation i'm in, just the other way around lol

 

My main dislike is that they dont go from bumperto bumper..they stop about 2 or 3 inches from the end of the hood and in the middle of the trunk. If they were full lenght like your options here I would probably like them.

Old pic from like the first day I got it, alot has changed. They just look half assed to me but the paint is much bighter under it so I wont take them off.

 

Yeah, i know its more of a chevy thing to have the stripes go from hood to trunk (camaro's, nova's, chevelle's) and a mustang style to have it go from bumper to bumper.

the good thing with vinyl is that its removable, the bad thing is after awhile your paint gets sunfaded and once you remove the vinyl, the spots where the stripes were are noticeable.

 

Yah thats how chevy has always done there stripes. personally thats how i like them. to me the others look like someone took a paint roller and went right over the car.

IMO though. you car would be too busy with the lip kit and the stripes. i would stock with what you have, i would buy some lowering springs.

 

i like stripes, miss my blue ones on the old balt, F u red seats

 

I am lowered not much though. eibach pro kit

 

isnt that kit more like a leveling kit?

 

I'd stick with what you have, looks alot cleaner w/o the stripes!

 

I like it more with the pinstripe. I'd personally go with the GM style though (like David6312008 has, but not on the roof)

 

not to stripe, that is the answer

 

That forza car looks pretty good!

 

I never liked the stripes for a cobalt, but its all personal preference

 

id leave it be

 

You should ask. to rice or not to rice.

 

voted for no and your car is slow as **** anyways lol

my opinion is those only look good on chevelles camaros novas and other "muscle cars" not cobalts sorry man
