hey all u guys who have installed a underbody kit on there cobalts anyone got pictures of like exactly how its installed just trying to get some ideas, i have an orange cobalt so i'm think orange plasmaglow... thanks guys

 

orange and orange might look overdone.... it usually looks nicer to go with a second color
like orange and blue or orange and white..... i wouldnt reccomend putting it on unless you have sideskirts eather, its hard to hide on a unibody,,,, as far as how to mount it its rlly hard.... the front just zip tie it to the bottem of your radiator, the sides bolt into the shteet m,etal and the rear i drilled into the bottem of the bumper...not the bumper cover, the actualk bumper

 

i have a ss/sc wit the ss body kit ( i think like the stock body kit) would that be ok??

 

should be, do the sides come down more than the base model?

 

I have an orange SS/SC with a white VARAD LED underbody kit. I get compliments all the time on it saying it looks so much better than everyone elses and its very bright. There is a thread on here called "rice or nice" that i have some pics in but they dont do it jutice it look almost blue in the pics. They look so much better in person.

I would def reccomend he varad led kit over neons, u dont have to worry about tubes cracking or transormers plus the tubes are flat so they hide well and install easily. They are also much brighter than neons and have a very nice distribution.

plasmaglow used to make some very good products but they are having a lot of trouble with them now that they have merged with another company, cant think of who they are now... but we have had a lot of problems with the controllers from plasmaglow lately and that includes just the single color... its not just limited to the multi color set ups they have... i would go street glow

 

I also have the varad led underbodies, and they work great. Mounting them wasnt that hard, the only bar you can see is the front one because i zip tied it to the bumper, because i didnt want to do any drilling on my car. just put your car up on those ramp thingys and take a look underneath. the hardest part is getting the wires in the car. but i would definatly go with the led's cause they're way brighter and you wont have any probs with them breaking or anything

 

mike, also a side note, I see you live in Philly...2 suggestions:

1. Wait till after Winter passes through
2. Don't buy cheap generic brands. Buy either Plasmaglow or Streetglow...the bigger the name, the better the quality. I had cheap no names on my old car and they stopped working and shattered in no time.

 

i had streetglows on my cavy and it took for me to pull up on to a curb and drag very hard to crack one...and also the little black box transformer or what ever it is fell off and i drug it for a mile on the road before i realized where the sound was coming from and it still worked fine...i would highly reccomend street glows and i like the idea of orange on orange too=)

 

dude first off, go with what color you think you would like, second, i have installed many underbody kits and this was the easiest to place. youll need a few of the same size drill bits just in case they break but all you have todo is make a couple mounting holes up on the side of the frame. make sure its tucked away. with the stance the car has, no one is going to see them anyways unless they get on their stomach and look at your whole underbody. it will take a lil while, and paceince to do. but well worth.

 

As far as color goes I would just by the type that you can change. The kit I got has 6 different colors that yo can change with a remote button. It is very bright underneath and looks good with the blue and the red. Aslo it is very easy to install, but make sure you either have a body skirt on the back, or you lower the car or ellse it looks kinda shitty.
