https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...steering+wheel


my cost for the stuff iirc

Dupli-Color Spray paint - got at Kragen(auto zone, o'reillys, pretty much any auto parts store that carries duplicolor)
1 can of T0294(Toreadore Red) paint + 1 can ofT125(clear) = $12 with tax


3M 600 Grit - got at lowes(again, pretty much and 600-800 grit sand paper will work fine from and diy home improvement store)
imperial wet or dry sandpaper 3.66" x 9" sheets(5 count) = $4 with tax

 

daamn ill have to make a weekend project out of it... i cant do it today

 

well, i just drove around with out the dash trim for a while lol i started with the radio piece, cuz it haz to go on b4 the trim to the left and right of it

 

good idea... i keep thinking its sunday... im gonna do it tomorrow.

 

Well I haven't posted in here since 07 and my car's got a bit of a different look to it now so here's what it looks like now, 2007 SS/NA:

 

This is my next favorite color after black

I would get rid of those chrome trim things on the doors. Other than that looks pretty good.

 

They're not chrome, they're clear, and they keep my doors from getting scratched or dinged if I open them too far and smack something.

 

They look chrome to me lol. Well at least they serve a purpose. I was just giving my opinion. They wouldn't be on my car haha.

 

i just dont let my doors go flying open if i think they will hit something lol

and so far i have no chips or scratches lol nice car btw it kinna looks familiar haha

 

I don't either, but lots of other people think there's some magical force that stops the door from hitting stuff for some reason, so I put those on for the instances when one of my passengers falls into that category.

 

lmao, i know man, im just giving you a hard time

 

very nice, now tint those windows!

 

I've considered it but still unsure.

 

hehe how can you be unsure?

 

mine are darker

 

you are not suppose to have tint on the front side window in michigan so i went with 35% tint in the hopes that the cops wouldnt notice it, then went 20% on the back 3 window so they would not be glaringly different then the front sides.

 

Okay i see where you are coming from. Although every car I have owned has had illegal tint and I have never got a ticket

Mine meters at 12% all the way around

Do you have a visor?

 

visor as in a front strip? naw didnt want it.

 

Yea on top of the windshield. Blocks out a good amount of sun. I guess sunglasses work too

 

Now who wants to give me a wingless deck lid??

 

Well I do a lot of night driving, and I've gotten used to being able to see out my windows at night.

 

I have pictures from the same parking structure

 

It looks nice, but looks like maroon to me, not red

 

JEALOUS!

its by no means a bright red

and there is a metal flake in it so in the sun it does look red, i'll see if i can find a pic

 

LOL, I love my red, wouldn't trade it for anything except pink/black combo (but that's cause I'm a girl)

I love your color, just doesn't look like red, maroonish. Looks great in the sunlight all shiny
