Andrew's Cobalt Build

Saw a thread like this and thought I would do the same.

Bought my 07 Cobalt LS Coupe (vic. red) in December 2010. Came bone stock, except for the 17'' Custom Silver rims.
(pic is on cell phone, will try and upload when I can)

So far the mods I got to date are:

Rockford Fosgate speakers all around
Painted Black Bowties (front and back)
Tsudo catback exhaust
SS high-rise wing
20% window tint all around
Xenon Platinum Blue Headlights
Sportlines
Red Painted Calipers & Drums
Tinted Tails & Reflectors
K&N SRI
Airbox Mod
Trifecta Tune
Door Panel Mod

Still coming:

ZZP Catless downpipe
Bad Mab Header
R1 Concepts slotted rotors
PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads
SS Front Fascia with Evo Mod
Rubber
Konis
Rear Sway Bar
Strut Bar

no problem. I have a crappy cell phone pic on my car from when I frist bought it. Just have to buy a cord to get the pic off my phone onto the computer. Then I have to borrow my girlfriends camera to get some recent pics. But I can post a pic of it a while ago

I would do it.

AS LONG AS:

you have 17''+ rims, a bodykit, or have it lowered. (All three if your really cool )

Otherwise if you have the stock wheels with the stock 4x4 suspension it looks terrible

Will try and post pics this weekend

Yea the drop will help big time. I've got an SS, and lowering it improved the look 1000 fold.

BTW:

Quick tip: People that are going to be putting new springs/struts/shocks on:

The sway bar links are a pain in the assss to get off. The main idea is to get vice grips to clamp to the back side of the bolt, so the bolt that you are trying to get off, doesnt spin. But my vice grips kept slipping off and it was a pain in the asss really. So if your looking to save yourself major time and headaches in the future, I would upgrade your links to the newer aftermarket ones, the ones where you can fit an allen wrench in the middle of the bolt so you dont have to mess wtih the spinning bolt. Believe me it is worth the $75 or so investment

I have 17'' rims at the moment also with the SS wing. It looks ok, but you can tell it's out of place with the stock suspension/body. You could pull it off driving by with the stock suspension/body, but at a standstill it just doesnt fit IMO

You should invest in the color matched mirror covers.They were only $40 bux from the dealer for mine.

You can wrench the endlinks off by hand. I used a ratchet and an open end wrench. came right off no issues! But i agree... upgrade the endlinks. I used the moog ones from orielly. About $75 and they are greasable.
