Dash Trim kits!!!

JenovaD · #1 07-02-2009, 08:27 PM

So i decided my first step is going to be to get a red trim kit for my 08 special edition. I want to go with a whole red/gray theme here but I don't know if i want to paint the pieces myself, or get a kit. and if i get a kit what kind do i want? I was leaning towards a kit. But i don't know where to find a good deal or if i should get the cheaper stick on ones or if i should get a kit with the actual dash board pieces. Any good websites? suggestions? pictures?? Ill have pictures up SOON of my car.

After that I also want to get red neons, and paint my brake calipers and drums red as well as the ECOTEC letters on the engine, the intake i was going to get also just happens to be red/gray.

I have been looking at this

GM Parts Direct: Your direct source for Genuine GM Parts

problem is i then have to get the door trim parts separate (another almost 70 dollars)

You could paint them yourself for less than 20 bucks. http://www.yourcobalt.com/forums/int...-trim-mod.html

i agree. i cant justify 100+ dollars for something that i can easily do. i would rather spend my money elsewhere. but that could just be me.

just paint your trim pieces man. use krylon fusion for plastics.
no sanding needed at all. works like a charm!
i painted mine gloss black. looks gooddd than i put COBALT on the passenger trim piece. with letters some one was selling on ebay. perfectly spaced out the same spacing as the trunk letters.. so all i had to do was peal off the back plastic and put them to the trim
it looks real good.

Thanks guys based on this I do think I will paint them myself. Guess I was turned off at first just due to a fear of screwing them up.

I agree.. just paint them.. If you mess them up, sand them down and repaint them.
