Sweet. Cant wait to see some finished pics. You should also save up and get some springs and wheels..cuz a body kit with steelies and hub caps is so not cool.

dont scare the man, not all body kits are pain in the asses..."you get what you pay for" would be the better point here...usually the more expensive ones fit up better and go right on..but sometimes you get lucky and get one that gets your hands dirty

Well everyone with a black Cobalt usually goes with a set of black wheels. Personally I would get a nice set of bronze wheels. Bronze wheels on a black car is pure hotness.

tip for ppl who do put bodykits, always drive without paint after having installed,,

reasoning, it helps the bumpers get there proper flex into them, remember fiberglass and urethane do flex, if let them settle, it helps prevents spider cracks, ive installed a couple kits now and found paint sat and settled much better after having been on the car for a couple weeks,as bad as it does look, it helps a lot

Driving it without paint for a little while is acceptable... as I do understand that you will want to make sure the fit is perfect after driving around. However, driving without paint permanently is a bad idea LOL.
