Unwrapped the whole car, except the roof and the hood, saw that the dealeership from where i bought it did a terrible job in painting the front end....the entire paint didn't stayed on the car -.- that's bad but i'll get it dipped the 29, for now it will stay like that and when i'll have enough money i'll get the whole exterior painted.

The rest of the paint (original paint) is in good shape, exactly the same than before the wrap, the only problem is the front bumper that have been repainted by the dealership i bought the car from -.- looked like they didn't sand enough before painting.

Pretty crazy how much it is to get a car wrapped, unless you did it yourself.

My cobalt is getting fixed so I ordered the ZZP radiator and have enough random other parts sitting in my basement to cover the deductible

I didn't do it, but someone that can paint did. Should make the engine bay pop pretty well.

That red looks awesome, wish I had something to show off under my bay

Spent a little more than I would have liked to today ordering a lnf grille but that's 1 step closer. Also my tracking # says I have received my fogs today woohoo!

Now all I need to buy is the clips for the rear lip.

Would anyone be interested in a mini thread if I made it when the car is complete? I'm taking lots of pictures of the whole process.
I'll probably just get **** for making a "fake ss"
Which I suppose it will be, but it's a fun first project for me none the less.

I fixed the mounting tabs on my Gen 3's so they fit slightly better. Need to work on redoing my grille tomorrow or something.

Started it up for the first time this year, drove it to the car wash and hit a little boost on the way!
