gj on the headlights, i usually dont like vinyl but yours isnt too bad, would look better without, but its not bad enough that i would say take it off, maybe lose the sponser stickers at the bottom unless youare actually sponsered by them, otherwise it looks kinda ricey, just my opinion, at least they are all color matched

I was actually listing the brands GM used for the SS (except the K & N) which I will be adding as soon as it becomes available. Most people don't relize the quality GM put into the SS until they take one for a drive.

agreed, but at least the vinyl goes with the car and matches the rims/tint.

I guess the general consensus is that vinyl is no good.

I like the look of your car, and the vinyl doesn't seem to detract from it. It isn't crazy stupid or anything, and I have thought about getting a single wide band extending from above the front fender toward the back, like a large side pinstripe. I don't see why that would be bad. Overall, nice job, car looks sweet.

Sweet Ride. Did you paint you lamps flat black or gloss black. I am doing mine this weekend and I can't decide.

The vinyl and the headlights really make the car stand out. I am not normally a vinyl fan but when it is done in style like that it doesn't make it seem so bad. Now the sponsor stickers I agree w/ wikkymaster, if they aren't paying you man no need, but if they are rock on.

Because the civic would probably have a huge aluminum wing and flapping primered gound effects.

so if the civic had a spoiler like the cobalt SS and a lip kit it would look good w/ those graphics?

I think the car looks good with the graphics. Personally I wouldn't do it to my car, but to each their own. None the less, it does look decent and not overdone.

As far as the Civic, I like the stock SI wings of the '99-'00 models and think that they fit the car well.
