So i live in New England, and our weather has been very differant lately some days its 70 and sunny and others its 35 and cloudy. but ive still managed to get some work down with mother nature being as she may. I ordered alot from ZZP, there front and rear transmission mounts, Option b kit and dual pass. along with drilled and slotted rotors and stage 1 axles. also there 3 gauge pod. also a few months ago before i put my car away for the winter i did the evo mod in the front, i got a black SS and i found some red plasti dip a while back (havent been able to find it since sadly). i used to have a carbon fiber hood but i sold it and while my stock hood was off my car and in my garage my neighbors cats got into the shed and my hood became there bed and they scratched it all up. long story short ive decided to plasti dip my hood and trunk (man i love this stuff haha) flat black. since both these r replaceable i figure why not experiment. hates if you wanna hate. im no mechanic nor do i work in a body shop so this is all stuff i learned myself/ followed how tos on CSS.net. so heres the pics. thanks for reading/looking guys. all feedback is welcome.

looks good, i actually like the flat black hood on it

 

Im hopin next week wen i do the trunk itll bring it all together and not look like a primerd stock hood but thanks man!

 

no prob bud, i also just noticed your grille, i like what you did, having it so that its open

 

Looks good! I love how you did that splatter effect on the spark/injectors cover man

 

Thanks guys. I have the splatter effect all over the dash also. Tryin to go for unique. Need to do wheels next. The grill ended up bein an accident gone good haha. I have a ss/tc grill in my shed but im debating keepin what i have now

 

how many cans did you use for the hood i wanna do my hood,trunk,and roof need to know how many can

 

About a can each. I just did the trunk...waiting for it to dry now pics sooon

 

so one can for the trunk one can for the hood and one can for the roof i guess thats not bad i am gonna buy some tomarrow and do it again just gotta find a way to plug my holes on my trunk any bright ideas for that, that plasti dip will cover well

 

pic's of rotors with the rims installed?

 

 

The trunk and hood came out looking great. I wish plastidips come in various colors...

 

I love it all but the Red accents, lots of work went into that, kudos

 

It does?

 

looks good my trunk turned out good but my hood has lines in it how did you get it to come out so smooth

 

review on the axles?

 

looks good. +1 for being different man

 

For the most part, i like everything you did! the red upper grille part looks really cool

 

it does lol

Thanks for all the comments guys! The axles work great, havent gone to the track yet but no wheel hop on the streeetsss.

Donald. To be homest the pictures dont do justice, i got some "tiger stripes" on my hood. My trunk i got lucky with i just toke my time.

 

ya i guess since the area is so big and we just used the spray can i guess if we would have used the car kit that dip your car sells it would have come out like it is suppose to but i sill like it a few strips here and there won't hurt i will post pics of mine tomarrow

 

Alright man. Ya its tough to do with a can. But a few stripes add some character

 

what a solid turn around man!!

i like the flat black and the red accents look so pro!

nice 'i love my gf' sticker lol did she hold you up to that or did you do it willingly?


where did you get the lay in thing for your 3rd brake light that says 'cobalt SS'??

 

Thanks! The sticker she got me for xmas the first yr i got the car haha. I put it on willingly though! And the 3rd brake light thing came with the car when i got it. I got her in 2009 with 18k, shes 2006. Now she has 38 almost 39k.
