Ahh, thanks! I like the "Sly" a lot! Better even than my silver.

I love Sly....I painted my trike/chopper that color....goes AMAZING with black

I think you should do Black Handles and Black rims

cartmann32 · « **Reply #2104 on:** January 24, 2011, 03:01:48 PM »

Completely black rims?
The insides will remain black as they are now, but I'm just painting the chrome Sly
er...that's what I was thinking of doing

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #2105 on:** January 24, 2011, 03:09:03 PM »

Joe, can we get this painting portion of the thread broken out into a separate external mod thread?

cartmann32 · « **Reply #2106 on:** January 24, 2011, 03:24:13 PM »

oops, my bad. Was I supposed to make my own thread?

Critterman · « **Reply #2107 on:** January 24, 2011, 03:58:13 PM »

Actually it looks like your rims are black, gunmetal and polished. Change the gunmetal to sly and I think they will pop!

cartmann32 · « **Reply #2108 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:03:43 PM »

The insides are black, and the lip is chrome.....
There is that Drifter solstice, that's green and slammed...it had black rims with green lip...and it was sick

Critterman · « **Reply #2109 on:** January 24, 2011, 04:38:34 PM »

Looking at the picture above it looks like 3 colors, spokes are black, the back of the actual rim looks darker than the front edge. Are you saying the entire rim except for the spokes is chrome?

cartmann32 · « **Reply #2110 on:** January 24, 2011, 05:16:16 PM »

Ya, I think with the filter I put on the photo, and the sun, it made them look 3 toned.
The spokes are black, center is black, the lip and the beveled lip (touching the tires) are chrome.
The screws are chrome, but I'm thinking of painting those black as well.

Critterman · « **Reply #2111 on:** January 24, 2011, 10:51:57 PM »

If you could paint them the way they show in the pic they would be hot

The brake upgrade is going to wait a couple of days. I had originally ordered the 4-Piston Calipers from DDM back in October, but their manufacturer couldn't deliver so we've been going back and forth on weather the Porterfield pads will fit the stock calipers. Besides, tomorrow could quite possible be top down weather and I don't want to waste it in the garage!

Finished up under the hood today with the DDM Cross Bay Brace after a quick trip to ACE to pick up some missing bolts:

^^^ Very nice looking engine bay you got there.

Mike

Go-N Def · « **Reply #2114 on:** January 25, 2011, 08:20:16 AM »

Thanks! And thanks goes to DBG and Dark Tech for helping with the installs!

GXPinKC · « **Reply #2115 on:** January 25, 2011, 08:42:58 AM »

Go-N Def, absolutely awesome under the hood. "The faster I Come", underhood addition is very nice. Your engine bay is a knockout!!! Yes, the DDM Cross Bay Brace looks great in red and you will feel the difference. You have an awesome ride!
Congrats!!!

Ron

Go-N Def · « **Reply #2116 on:** January 25, 2011, 08:50:37 AM »

Actually, I wont feel the difference at all. I haven't driven it in 7 months, so it kind of hard to judge between before and after...

Houstice · « **Reply #2117 on:** January 25, 2011, 09:33:02 AM »

1. I ordered from DDM their race backbone brace to be installed.

2. Custom dual exit exhaust system, 304 stainless steel with a Hiflo cat.

3. Custom 4 in 1 304 stainless steel long tube headers with Burns stainless collector.

4. Norm's smooth dual exit rear fascia in brazen orange metallic color with "Solstice".

KC - you can't see what it says above the 'medic' It has been a while but something along the lines:

"the louder you scream"

Looks good Mike, let me know when you are ready for my car, or should I just drop it off?

Go-N Def · « **Reply #2119 on:** January 25, 2011, 10:43:37 AM »

Critter, Sure, just drop it off...

Everyone else, Who needs a super charger???

Brad Kenny · « **Reply #2120 on:** January 25, 2011, 10:51:03 AM »

I am in!!!

IIRC there are black door handles available for the Cobalt. You don't have to paint them.

By "sly" do you mean not silver like mine?

Jim

Actually they are a very dark primer-like grey. At least the ones I got were so I ended up painting them matte black.

Sly Bob · « **Reply #2122 on:** January 25, 2011, 12:15:44 PM »

Hey Mike, it's lookin' sharp in that engine bay!

Go-N Def · « **Reply #2123 on:** January 25, 2011, 12:22:16 PM »

Now its time to hook up the interior and go for a little drive. I'll do the exterior tonight since it's supposed to rain...
