anyone ever heard of a boser hood? its like a piece of sheet metal you weld onto your stock hood to cover part of the headlights and grill, to my understanding anyway. a lot of people do to GTIs and jettas . i was wondering if anyone had heard of anyoneone doing it to a cobalt or had a picture i cant find anything on google.

yeah now anyone got a pic of it on a balt? or even heard of it being done because i might just have to be the first

 

[gmevo08]

i havent seen or heard of that i really gotta check that out

 

[cobaltinator]

The only thing I have seen or found online is on imports like VW and BMW. I would do it to mine if I had enough bodywork experience.

it looks alright but i dont think that is sheet metal it looks alot thicker than actual sheet metal but idk do u have to cut out ur headlights to make them fit or do u just have them sit ontop?

 

[bchongarski]

looks good, other option is to put eyelids, it has almost the same efect

 

[Pacman]

It overlaps the headlights. They have premaid ones for Vdub's and i just cant seem to like the eyelids they seem kinda cheap after seeing the acutal boser hood

Looks good but I wonder how much it'll cost to get the sheet metal, weld it on and paint it. I'd rather have cheap eyelids. At least they can be removed when I get tired of them

ya it looks bad a**. I think i just got turned off eyelids too lol

 

[B-Low187]

without a kit pre made it will be a lot of work and prob expensive. espec if you cant do it yourself

 

[gmevo08]

i would go with painted eyelids it still gives the same effect idk about welding into my hood haha

 

[Pacman]

not if u dont know if ur gonna like it or not lol. but hey, its your whip you do what ya want lol

 

[Pacman]

that was the whole point of starting the thread i want to see one before i do anything but i dont think it has been done.

 

[gmevo08]

i just wouldnt want to go big i mean with a big hole in the front of my hood haha i guess if ur not afraid to mess up welding isnt bad im not to good so i wouldnt trust myself nor would i pay someone to mess with my car

 

[lobalt]

shoot I say go for it, if ya mess up just buy a new hood... if ya have the money & time & skill should be all worth it. Ive seen my friends mold caddy taillights in their truck beds, that's not any different from this... if they have the skill it turns out wonderful in the end... if they dont, then they have to buy a whole new bed. Like i just had a friend buy a whole new bed for his bagged dime cuz he sux at body work(he wont admit that tho, lol)--but at least now he knows......lol
