Im debating plasti-dip rims, with blue or red lug nuts. For sure i will be plasti dipping the interior trim, there is some minor scuffs on the piece around the shifter. Also plan on plasti dipping the lower front grill, and getting some fogs
You cant tell in the images but i was in a fender bender with someone (rear bumper) but ive got an RS bumper on the way im replacing it with. After that im going to debadge the dealer logo, LT and add an RS badge and turbo badge, also going to add the RS spoiler
Performance wise it has the reso delete and k&n drop in, next is trifecta tune and muffler delete
Still trying to think of other things to do as well, any ideas are appreciated
hahaha i like the location of the stickers. i was the one who started that about a week or so ago...its sleeper horse power looks like you got about 5 extra hp there. i am working on an extra 15hp. shhhhh no one knows about it...

yeah you were the one who inspired me! the gains are nuts! hehe
That pic reminded me that im also planning on doing some interior leds as well, kinda wanting to try something different as everyone uses blue it seems
I just bought a carbon fiber vinyl sheet from autozone and layed out a square piece over the bowtie and traced the shape, the steering wheel i pressed a small square against the bowtie and traced out the shape it made on the adhesive
Nice job on the bowtie on the steering wheel. I tried to vinyl mine but it just wouldn't hold due to the texture. I ended up dipping mine. Looks great.
Well done mate looks awesome. I thought the same thing about the fogs lights but I did strips and they turned out great. Peripheral vision is killer with them too. Interiour LED would be a nice touch too maybe a white LED rear bowtie accent would work with the carbon fibre as well... picked up a blue one for $10 on eBay myself... no pics yet but looks great.
Actually looks very nice. Good job! I'm surprised LT wheels look that nice plasti dipped. Could have saved my self $2200. HAHA. Next up, plasti dip the chrome outline around the grill. The bowtie really pops when its the only chrome on the front.
You should also throw your cruze up for COTM. You have pictures already. Nothing to lose.
I tried to dip the chrome around the grill this weekend. It's tough to tape off the grill just right so only the chrome gets hit with the dip. I ended up trying it twice and both times when I was taking off the tape on the grill I got a few pieces that pulled up. Being a perfectionist, I got mad and took all of it off. I have a carbon fiber vinyl piece covering the yellow bow tie and I dipped the chrome border. It looked good until I jacked it up taking the tape off.

I went with these yellow fog lights. I did have one burn out prematurely within a month and I contacted seller and they sent me new set no ?s asked. Ive had good luck with them so far. Really bright too.
I did the top chrome peice with everything on the car. Get some masking tape andin small strips, apply it carefully. I ended up doing it twice. 2nd time I took a hobby knife and cut the tape where the crease is. Threw some news paper over the hood and other areas after that and then I was off. Hard part is making sure you get it all exposed and then carefully getting it back off before it dries.
Make sure you do it right the first time because adding masking tape later will cause the dip to come off.
If you want to do the honey comb as well, just remove it from the car.
