Ok... heres the question...

I want to do many things to my Cobalt.

I want to get these things...

Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs / Tein Racing Shocks and Struts(when available)

B&M Shortshifter

Injen CAI

20% Tint all around

TSW Rocket 4 or Montage Black wheels

New hood

Stage 3 upgrade kit(when available)

Painted Calipers

BIG brake kit(whenever available)

HID headlights and Bright White Fog Lamp lights



What to do first?

Performance or Appearance?

Please poll.

 

always performance 1st, nothin worse then looking all big and bad then not being able to back it up...

 

I can not vote on this one becuase you left out Both. I would do both preformance and looks.

 

Performance! That is my plan because appearance has been the path for alot of ppl because its cheaper and draws attention. I draw enough attention already, I just wanna go faster.....

Mods planned for spring:

GM Stage 1-3
Injen CAI
Borla Exhaust
Headers
B&M Short shifter
DC strut bar
Weapon R engine dampener

 

the first thing that a majority of us did was tint the wondows..so i guess thats appearance first... im really happy with gettin tints first, intake coming soon

 

i don't have tint and it pisses me off (no money) but performance is the majority stand point... a lot of people are waiting for the GMPP upgrades, i know i am... oh and gravana has a 12 Big Brake kit out...

 

I want both ! I can afford appearance right now ( arm rest,grill cover ect...) and am waiting for spring and the stage two kit. This is going to be a long,long winter.....

 

Personally there are a few "essential" appearance things I'd to right away. One of those is window tint... I also got a shorty antenna b/c I can't stand the huge stock one. After that.... definately go for performance.

 

make it go fast before it looks fast.

exceptions are minor cosmetic upgrades like tint, painted calipers, etc.

 

ill take a sleeper any day of the week. i cant stand ricers why would i want to be one? tints not really cosmetic.... personal conversation maybe. i burn my legs on my gfs leather seats because her windows arent tinted.

 

If you really think about it, the car has both right from the factory. I think a lot of people are going the appearance route right now, just waiting for the stage kits to come out.

 

Little bit of both for me. 1 performance item, 1 Appearance item.. lol

 

same... doing 1 performance then 1 appearance. etc

got CAI
next HIDs
next exhaust
next lowering springs(is this performance or appearance.)?

 

I would go performance first. Nothing like taking a (insert unsuspecting car here that edges us out stock) and blowing it away, while looking stock.
Depends on what springs you do.

 

I started backwards. I have my 8k HID kit (not installed yet) and then I plan on getting Stage 1 and putting a smaller pulley on myself
