That decal must shave atleast 1/2 a second off of your 1/4 mile time

Be very careful washing it, especially if you go to a car wash and use one of those wands. That reflective material is much thicker compared to regular vinyl plus there are several layers (vinyl doesn't stick to vinyl as well as vinyl to paint). If you hit it at an angle with some water pressure it'll lift the edges. Just the wind over time might be enough to start lifting the edges if it is cheap vinyl.

It's not that bad. I used to have a 91' Formula that the firebird decals on the sides behind the windows began to peel. So I replaced them with black reflective (on a red car) with it lighting up white at night. I should of put clear over the cut vinyl, though, the edges began to lift after about a year (and it was quality 3M vinyl).

mmmmm, think its ok....

I love my flat black window drop on my Cavalier, with a small Ekset sticker.....

So, I like the drop, THINK I like the ss supercharged.

Least it doesn't just say Cobalt SS, I say people do that when they cant remember what kind of car they drive.


heh

Is the decal glow-in-the-dark?? Sorry if that is a stupid question but it looks like it in the second pic, but it could just be the lighting? IDK.

I think it looks kinda neat. Didn't noticed the SS in the back until the second pic. Then I liked it that much more.
I saw a car the other day that had had the whole "Chevy An American Revolution" on it. I thought that looked kinda cool as well. Was thinking about doing something like that, but I'm not so sure.


Looks good

I agree with 05BurntOGSL the blue could match better. If it did it would look real good. It could match better on those eyelids too.

The SS is in white the background is silver , for the blue not matching, it's because of the picture , up close it looks a lot closer, but I couldn't find a perfect match so.
The eyelids are temporary I'm gonna have my headlights painted the same as the car this winter..

It looks just as bad as your eyebrows.

The colour isn't even right...

that pic of your car near the water looks bad ass


im not a big sticker fan , but the supercharged part kinda takes away from the look off the SS atleast during the day

its not to bad other wise , and as long as your happy with it , is good enough for me

allthough your window banner reminds me of the blue srt here in phoenix , lol

it says SRT turbo charged down the sides of it , lol


its kinda like dont people already know its SRT turbo ?? LOL

Looked better without it, its cool and all but its overpowering your windshield. How much did the decal set you back ?



Praise the Cobalt Gods
