Stripey Balt! What do you think?
So I decided to put some rally stripes on my 09 Cobalt and I'm pretty happy with them. What do you guys think? suggestions welcome!






I still have to put the accent stripes on the rear bumper but you get the point.

Finished with the bumper.





and my personal favorite picture.



Thanks for all of the views and comments!

Looks weird not having the four "pin stripe" lines go down the back bumper. Other than that, definitely my favorite stripe job i've seen on a balt!

How difficult was it and how long did it take you to do it? Mess up any?

Looks good! I'm asking because I'm getting the same ones next month.

but I ordered them off of their ebay auction and saved myself 5 dollars with the make an offer option.
I payed $50 for the stripes with $12 shipping so $62 all together.
They were already pre cut and sectioned so it wasn't overly difficult just time consuming (give yourself a couple of days to get it finished). and like I said I'm gonna finish the bumper tonight.

If you mess it up just peel it back off and re-place it. I tried to get a quote for the installation from the vinyl shop near where I live and they were never in the shop haha. but my guess is that it would be quite expensive because it's pretty time consuming.

Probably so... I think I'll take the chance and put them on myself. Blah... I don't wanna!
