How to Guide (Input Needed)

I was just looking for a how to and realized we need to put the most common ones as stickies. Please post what you would like to see as a sticky and a link to the how to please.

We don't need the how to put cobaltss.net stickers on your car as a sticky

Thanks.

I think what would be a better idea is to break the How To forum into different sub forums.
So have sub-forums such as:

Performance
Suspension, Rims, and Tires
Interior
Exterior
Audio/Video/Security
Maintenance and DIY Fixes
Other

That way they can click on the appropriate subforum for the how to they are looking for.

Yea good idea. We kind of went that route with the color coatings. I will talk with the admin and see what he thinks.

^^ This. The color code is 100% useless. I can read the title and know what it's for. The category is only helpful if you can select only that category.

Not a smartass. Just a realist. I needs to be on the front page. And in all Welcome emails.

Maybe also make sub forums for different types of cars in each one of those...which is kinda like the colour coding but easy to identify what engine they go with also not sure how it would work out though

I know there are cavi's and ions on here and such (me being one of them) But honestly I don't feel that there should be subforums for different cars. This is COBALTSS.net. Unless you mean 2.4 2.2 2.0, but really I don't think that's necessary either, because most people know that if they don't have a supercharger in their engine bay that they don't need the how to on painting it. Just sub forums on the specific thing you are looking for like I mentioned previously
