Do you think that the tape would hold up to with the wind resistance? I remember seeing these installed on a mustang in the Roush factory, but I think they used a lot of tape, but also drilled into the car, not sure though.

It would be ideal to replace the window, and install a good set of these, but that is a lot of work, and custom fabrication.

 

RKsport uses the tape on their lip kit... im pretty sure it will hold

 

door moldings are held on by 2 sided tape

 

Id buy a set of any of those styles, they both look awesome.. whenever they are for sale, I will be buying

 

Carbon fiber dude!

 

most likely will be offered don't worry lol.

 

I just figured that is the answer for those concerned about color.

 

Sweet, now I just have to find the best tape!

 

3m double sided.

 

double sided 3m tape usually works to hold on just about anything, but I'm wondering about how much resistance this thing has.

If it has no outlet, only an inlet, you are going to have a massive amount of air pushing on this thing from the inside. I just don't think it will hold up at 45+ mph.

I dunno I am not an expert in aerodynamics... just saying what came to my mind

The only thing i can think of is if maybe it creates an air bubble and no air will actually enter it just flow around it (kind of like a truck bed with the tailgate closed)

*lip kits and everything else have a way for the air to flow around it, not into it with no escape.

 

yeah im interested in them also, the one picture of them in yellow on page 1, same thing im worried about all that air sucking up in it and no way out maybe cause a problem? but non the less I really like the style & look of them if they'll stay on the car!

 

just when i thought i had seen just about everything ricers can do to cobalts, you want to put these on your car.

not only would they look completely dumb, but they are taking away sight from your rear window, i mean (not that its giving you a lot of vision out of that tiny window) but still.

im with the other guys, where is the GIMMIE SOME VTECK STICKAS WITH THIS MOD vote?

 

How about you stop raggin on other peoples ideas. just cuz you dont like it dont mean that others wont. I get compliments on mine all the time. Hell I had a guy that fully restored a 73 corvette tell how much he loved the look.

You are the guy that thinks lip kits, vertical doors, or anything else is dumb. but why stop there. why not hate the people that tint their windows.... its killing visibiliy? How about hate the guys that debadge their cars and remove exterior trim? the car didnt come that way so why get rid of it? wait, doesnt your SS come with a lip kit... well thats dumb... why not take it off, its just causing drag and extra weight.

If everyone had the same standard of what they thought was a good idea.... then everyones car would be exactly the ******* same. every cobalt would have the plain fascia that comes with the base model with no fogs. why add extra stuff? there is no purpose other than to give it a different look.

In other words... lay the **** off and shut the **** up. I hope someone makes these cuz if you look throughout this thread there is a good 20-30 guys here that would jump on it immediately.

 

hmm... ignorant much?

I mean jesus... our (well the ss/sc guys) balts come with a freaking giant wing. Nothing much more "rice" than a huge wing. Wrong car forum to complain about rice on.

P.S. I love my spoiler, so shut it! lol

 

 

yeah i was thinking about this too and i still think even with them being open it will not cause too much drag. I might just put an insert in though like the stock mustang hood scoop. I'm not really sure. I'm going to test them out before I make a decision.

honestly man just like the guy before you, no one cares about your opinion. It literally means nothing. There are plenty of people who are interested in this mod. and like you said that rear window does pretty much NOTHING. Also, I'm most likely making these like vent shades as a black tinted high impact resin. you can see through it or you could completely paint it. never the less. please stay out of this thread.

 

ditto to above comments..every1 says this is rice and that is unnecessary but when it comes down to it, if a certain following of ppl didnt like wht some call ricey, then they wouldnt exist. and the same ppl who say that something looks ricey, say thats a badass balt or i wish i had that on my car when they see it in real life.. plus ppl say that louveres are useless and ricey..well lets talk about the big ass ss wing that comes on the ss/sc balt or the fact that most car owners replace their stock stereos with subwoofers and amplifiers when there is nothing wrong with the original equipment...i'm not saying that i dont like these things but all those complainers have one of the two mentioned things...and if not one of those ppl spend thousands upgrading an engine that except for on the track will most likely never get used to its full potential...so haters cut the bull...if you dont like the idea..don't write on the thread..simple as that.

but seriously when are they gonna be for sale??

 

i can't give an exact time on it but this week is finals week for me. after that, I'm going to have alot of time to get started and finish multiple projects. After this week i'll make a materials etc order and i'll get started. i'll let you guys know more later.

 

and....honestly man, i dont care about your opinion either, believe me. Im commenting on how stupid these things look, so calm down and stop getting so defensive against everyone who knocks your idea

 

If you dont like them say your peace, respectfully and be done...

 

X2 lol

I like them myself. Its hard to make a choice, cuz they both seem like they would look great. The post about the one that looks like the mustang style looks alright, but I don't know about mimicking ford...

 

it would be awesome to see a prototype of each that way it would be easier to make a decision.. i cant wait till they come out, i will be buying a set and color match them

 

Not my style so I won't say. Maybe if I saw them on the Cobalt then I could.

 

sorry........ i really hate stuff u stick on with 2 way tape, such as "hood scoops" and "louvers"

 

Thats a tad harsh dude.
