Those of you voting for Duraflex, you realize you'll have ot paint it right?!?!?!?

It'll end up costing more in the long run than the CF one.... I just dunno if you're not thinking or don't care.

 

I voted carbon though I still plan on painting it.

 

for me paints not the issue its..i dont want to buy a hood..i know if i get a cf trunk then its gonna bug me and i'm gonna have to get a cf hood

 

plus..the weave in the carbon is gonna gonna be great because the bends and angles...some edges and corners will look just gray cause its pushed together ..

 

Not if you also planned on painting the CF trunk because you dislike the look of CF.

 

Yeah I don't want a CF trunk...so either way it would have to be painted.

 

 

Just an FYI,

I have a carbon fiber trunk lid on my mom's malibu... we had it painted to match the car... it started bubbling after about year three... went to a reputable body shop too... I was told carbon fiber doesnt paint well (guy coulda been a shitty painter for all I know)... and I know my sister would want it painted to match the car if she were to get one...

I imagine if the painter has done carbon fiber before... as I know most racecars are painted and carbon fiber and don't bubble... they might beable to get it good... just an fyi and and some info as local bodyshops usually don't deal with the stuff...

 

so why do you have a carbon fiber lid on a malibu?

 

Those are some shitty body shops

 

Depending on options I might be in for this. Im not a fan of either stock spoiler. (though the lowrise is a million times better)

 

It was a local stealership... ase certified bulls*** place... so I wasent surprised when I seen the bubbles last year...

Acually, it was the same place that fixed the cobalt after the deer accident... and they screwed up the paint on the bumper... and missed a spot under the hood and quarter panel so nvm they suck...

 

Doesn't make any sense, the paint isn't making contact with the cf. I'm thinking the lid just wasn't prepped right.

 

If duraflex wins, I will drive to everyone's house that picked it and punch you in your *****

 

i voted duraflex. and im certified in auto body repair, sooo i do have a clue.

but like i said b4, i dont care what its made in ill buy it either way most likely. and CF, or duraflex, im just gonna paint it.

 

So you can just paint it and you have the materials/know how to do it...99% of Cobalt owners do not.

 

Sweet!
Wait is this available for sedans too?

 

group buy for cf?

 

Research My friends....or just read a page back

 

i want cf

 

Hmmm, just an ETA as well?

After this whole CF vs Dura gets handeled.....how soon can we expect them? Before CED, PST!!!

 

i'm not buying but i don't know why everyone likes CF so much? I hope its not because of weight lol

 

lol your dreaming ryan! no way they will be ready that quick

 

Will there be an option to buy it painted? Will it have the 3rd brakelike similar to the stock trunk?

....


ED may have started this thread recently, but this topic has been discussed ad nauseum on this forum before.

 

No on the option to buy it painted, body kit companies very rarely offer a painted version. And yes, it will have the 3rd brake light.
