My Car then to now.
Didnt have to work today and was going thru the ton of folders on my computer and figured id make a then to now thread of pictures.
History - bought my car on a whim, originally went to look at a Hemi Ram for my buddy and this was parked behind it, 07 Laserblue SS/SC. Went in and saw my buddy who worked there, this was a Wednesday, and Monday I brought it home with me, started modding within the first week and the rest is what you see now.
Enjoy.
This is exactly how I first saw it, noticing it right after I took this picture

The modding immediately began with 5% tint and 8000k McCullough HIDs




Rolled around like that for a while, as I collected parts for the next step.




Played around with paint and made myself a car show of my own car

Hope Depot opened up in a neighboring town, so I decided to check it out - price check cobalt isle 5.....

Next decided to lower it on H&R springs, DC Sport strutbar, and Progress rear swaybar



Just after I had finished that the Avic D3 was released, I bought it the day it came out - first cobalt to have one installed


Then it was time for a little performance.
Ordered an AEM intake, and TTR was just releasing a solid mount, so I picked up one of those, along with a set of solid trans bushings from CA




After this Stage 3 had just been released so I ordered a GM Stage 2 kit with a Stage 3 pulley from Crate Engine Depot

Installed that and was very pleased with the results but wanted more, so I purchased the GM Manifold, and Magnaflow 2.5" catback


My mom bought a 4 door cobalt

Please see post 2 for more pictures, and dyno tuning and results and current pictures

cobalt ss - lol thanks man, my buddy was doing security there as they were building it working 3rd shift to keep people out. We went to take a picture under the "contractor pickup" area under the lighting, and the front door opened.... we looked at each other and he immediately said NO BURNOUTS and we backed it in real quick and took some pictures.... heres another one from that night...

lol thanks. I once had a polish student who I was talkin with, I asked to bring her home and she said no immediately. I was like whynot? Shes like I see you white guys on TV all the time in poland dragging women out into the woods..... i laughed for about 2 weeks straight
