that has lil to nothing to do with it, you get that when too many people are trying to all acces the same site at the same time, and the server is getting over loaded.

JoshuaVnyrd1817 03-26-2010 01:15 AM

Ah... Never knew that. haha. Learn something new everyday.

Damn, I probably should of known that.

Just FYI, my bro owns a paint/body shop and he said you can use car paint on the calipers and it'll hold up fine. Only way you can match your car. It's my plan for my car since I want to cutsom paint my new calipers.

Wing looks great. You work fast and make good progress

Thank god! I was planning on leaving them like that anyways :lol: The 3B spec ballasts came with a mounting bracket, DDM tuning didnt come with anything but 1 piece of double sided tape. If they can warrenty something like that....then im sure duct tape will hold it just fine lol

What is the spoiler actually made out of? Did you buy one and glass it on or is it all a one off?

Your work looks real good either way. Good job.

Yea its a one-off. Its actually a piece of styrofoam that they use in boat repairs. Just rough shaped it, layed fiberglass over it for shape and strengh, then shaped it more and filled in the holes and low spots with fiberglass filler. That shit is real strong too. You cant bend this spoiler, its solid as a rock. And if you can tell by the pics, it started out real squared off and thick, yesterday I shaved it and rounded the ends off so its much thinner now, and still you can pull and push on it and its not going anywhere. Its solid.

AnthonyCM 03-26-2010 07:29 AM

dam the spoiler looks great!

JoshuaVnyrd1817 03-26-2010 11:48 AM

Once i finish the body work, It was a real short day and didnt get too much done today, just kept workign that spoiler. Got the top of it relitively flat and smooth. Bottom is still being worked on, then the edge of it has to be perfectly rounded. I imagine late next week. I probobly wont be taking all the yellow off, just wetsanding the car with 600 grit and spraying it. Leave as much OEM stuff on there as I can.

It can be done, and im considering it. I just wanna finish the car and then ill worry about that, but the whole reason i liked this spoiler so much is becasue no1 had it. But im sure if I do it, ill have some pride in it and be happy to see people rockin it.

regular styrofoam breaks down with the resin and shit, and this stuff pretty much shrunk too, but this is actually foam that they use to fiberglass boats with, i got it from a boat shop. But you can go to AC moore and get the foam they put it fake planters. You can get a sheet of it for like 2.97. They have green and white. Its real brittle and stiff, like 1/2" thick. I was gonna use that untill i got my hands on this stuff. The AC moore stuff wasnt long enough to do the entire piece, and since the piece bows a bit, it would have been difficult to connect the two and get it to look right and whatnot. But it can be done!


Did work out of the house today since i didnt get much done at the shop. Still shaping that spoiler. Just tryign to get all of the high and low spots out of it to get it perfectly flat and smooth. Sanding like a motherfucker the past 4 days. inhaling dusk so much im blowing blue/green boogers out my nose. The top of it is for the most part done, still need to feather it smooth into the trunk, the bottom still needs work and i have to get some more dynaglass to make sure the ends of it come to a nice point and are evenly spaced from the body line on the 1/4 panels. This shit is very specific lol. But today i got tired of the spoiler and decided to take some time to block the hood dent, and get this one dent out of my 1/4 panel right by the window thats been buggin the shit out of me. Every time i look out of my mirror i see the dent. Took care of it in like 5 seconds

That's gonna look so nice when it's done.

Sanding is the hardest part. I seriously hate sanding, did it for 8 hours a day for like a year back in the day.

I love doing this stuff but just couldn't do it everyday.

Vick 03-26-2010 11:25 PM

mkriebs 03-26-2010 11:27 PM

im glad you changed your mind :) Itll look like a whole new car when im done, the spoiler shouldnt stick out as much as it does being primered when the trunk is black

lol i dont mean i wanna be the only one, i got the idea from the Tjin edition cobalt, so i know theres at least 1 that has it lol. And honestly i dont really mind at all, i just think it looks cool and is different

Boosted_Cobalt09 03-27-2010 12:38 PM

yeah theres 2 tjin cobalts that have this style spoiler. a black one and a white one.then theres others with the rksport one.

Yea those Tjin edition cobalts are sexy! I thought there was only 1 and they repainted though? the interiors are exactly the same with the white inserts the only difference is the rims. It seems almost hard to find a picture of the black one.

efactor 03-27-2010 10:44 PM

I think you should do Lamborghini Green with some metallic in it. That will look more shiner and specked. I liked the spoiler job up in person. That is some craftsman work from CFCC.

SlowBalt_06 03-27-2010 10:55 PM

i belive its the same balt repainted white....and one lug

I dunno exactly how its gonna turn out lol, but honestly that wing isnt that thin, at the end probobly but not where it meets the trunk. It has a really wide base compared to mine. hard to see in pictures but youtube Tjin edition cobalt walkaround and youll see what im talking about 3/4 way through
