the front end is a GM part that noone seems to be able to get a hold off, I've seen it in person on one other car (GM's show car) and pics of it on MAYBE 4 other carseveryone likes it and noone can get it

and also to go along with what my last comment to Marc S, I made one of the fastest street driven non-boosted ecos (haven't heard of an eco without forced induction running faster times then me) I've messed with the ecotec quite a bit and I work on cars for a living so I have more mechanical know-how and automotive knowledge then most.

Just some one comming on to the site and immidately saying they don't like the car makes me slightly protective

I definately like your car though, why not go the turbo/sc route with it?

Edit:

Nevermind, you already answered. lol

I love the front... now i remember seeing the gm car with it on... GM truly makes the best appearance stuff to me. I mean, the lower valences on the cobalt ss s/c look better than any body kit i've seen yet. go GM.

Why is that vamp? Is it because it's a cavalier?

No I'm not a makist, it's just 100% what I wouldn't want my car to look like.
