I was bored today

[OzzDOA]

Sitting around bored today and was thinking I was tired of the cobra grill badge that I have since everyone and their mom has it. So I started thinking I'd go back to the stock running pony but I wanted it to be a little different. I wanted something subtle but different. So the idea popped into my head and I thought, "What about a black chrome look?". I've never seen it before on a New Edge so this is what I did:

On the car

What do you think?

Put Cobra back on. Swap out the shitty stock plastic foglights for 03-04 Cobra ones.

how much for the cobra grille

what did you end up doing to it?

 

[POISND U]

Put the Cobra back on.

The black chrome looks better then the chrome pony but neither looks as good as the snake.

Is it plug and play to do that?


Op, how did you do that?

Simple. See this thread. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/new-edge-cobras-51/539436-03-04-fogs-99-01-front.html

I used plastic spacers for the bolts and made some variations to the guys write up. The bracket is a must buy thought to do this. Mine fits in perfectly and I can adjust the light beam as intended.

Another shot of the 03-04 fogs with the lights off.

I used a black-tinted clear coat to go over the standard chrome finish. Still waiting to see how durable the finish actually is.

That looks good! :coolman: I did a custom horse (Sorry for the crappy pics)

I've had it on for about a month and I'm starting to miss my cobra emblem. lol

 

[M.P. Cobra Fan]

I like it.

if you like the horse man, keep it, not like it looks bad or anything.

I really like the way it turned out. Did you just clean the emblem and spray it with the black tinted clear coat? Where did you buy the black tinted clear and what brand was it?

Thanks.

I cleaned it with alcohol pretty well and let it dry before I sprayed it. I sprayed 3 coats of this stuff:
Lense Tinting Spray

And finished it off with a coat of high-gloss clear.
