Small but Significant Mod

[steeledknight]

I thought the fog light inserts looked a little big and ugly. So while I had my bumper repaired about a month ago, I got the guy to paint all but the center white to match my car and a little red pin stripe to separate the black and red. I think it makes a world of difference

Hey, that looks pretty good. But where is the red pinstripe? I'm either blind or the beer I've been drinking is affecting my vision...or both.

That does look great.

You're right. The red is hard to see. It's really thin. (and the camera i used isn't the best) I'm gonna go by a vinyl shop and get some vinyl that matches my turbo emblem cut to go over the painted pinstripe to make it more obvious

That does look great. I picked up vinyl pin strip tape at a hobby shop a while back, that might be what you're looking for. It comes in all different thickness'.

Very nice. Makes the front look much cleaner. Nice job.

:banana:Looks good! Chevy should've done that from the factory, it looks aggressive!

Dammit My cars black so it wouldn't make a difference I wish the turbos were more available when i bought mine. That white looks so nice

I'm stealing that when I get my bumper repaired!

You can still do it with a black sonic.

Now there a satin black, spray them to be gloss black

Looks good!

 

[BoostedSnail]

now if you have black i still think you could do gloss black and have them paint the inside peice red for a lil more red highlight. but thats just me!

WOW! that looks like a whole new car. i wonder how hard it's going to be to match the color on my blue sonic.

 

[Syclone]

That definitely looks a lot better. Did they have to sand the inserts smooth or just spray them?

I was thinking the same thing.

Looks awesome!

Shouldn't be too hard. I bought the paint when the fog light inserts were done. I went by the Keystone in my area and gave them my year, make, model, and color and they mixed an exact match. Make sure you hammer on a couple layers of primer, sand it, and prime again to get the texture out before you paint.

Paint them red to match your light bezels

Many times better. In some colors, the fog light surrounds look so bad without the Fogs, I would consider paying more just to get the fog lights. However, I think you have a solution that is better.

Looks really good
