PICS- DomesticDemonSS now on SPORTLINES

Now that Im living in SO CAL the roads are much better and the car can now go lower. Went and saw my friend Matt at Gravana and picked up a set of Sportlines. These pics were taken after 25 miles, they may lower a bit more but I don't think so. They look great it was exactly the drop I was looking for.

My new hood is completed, Rksport is just waiting on a hood latch.

I should have new pics with the new hood come EARLY next week. On to the pics:








And one more LITTLE mod

Very nice car...I like the 3 piece spoiler but the only thing I don't like about it, from the back anyway, is the spaces inbetween the 3 pieces. But of course, they have to be there. Overall, very nice

I moved to So Cal to go to school. Michigan is just plain depressing! I went to high school in southern california i've only been in Michigan a couple of years. I appologize for the picture quality the only camera I had available to me today wasn't the greatest.

Thank you all for your comments/opinions

I bet you are the only person with a cobalt to have switched their suspension out twice! That looks good. Those are the same springs I will be getting. Also my girlfriend was speculating getting me that hood for my birthday. Our cars could be twins!

That's f'n gorgeous, brother. The spacing between the body and tires is right on the money. Did you do the license plate holder yourself? 'Cause that's really nice as well.

I'll probably want stage 2 over the hood though so have no worries.

Surprising well, thanks in part to a specifically tuned shock from the factory, base model cobalts will not fair as well. I had sportlines on my old 03 Cav with stock struts and it was a bouncy ride. The ss/sc shocks work with the sportlines wonderfully the car can corner alot more aggressively with minimal "bounce" when hard driving.

There's still enough clearance to hit a nice little bump and not bottom the car completely out to me its a perfect drop.

Thanks again.

Again i had sportlines on a j-body as well and I can tell you that our car's ride 100x better on sportlines than a cav because of our factory strut. It rides firm but not even as close to as bouncy as your cav would be.

Hope this helps!
