07 Cobalt LS

Hey everybody brand new to the site.

Love the site so far you all have some sick looking Cobalts.

Just wondering the best mods I should do for my 07 LS. Already have 17'' rims

Live in WI so when it gets warmer going to get 20% tint.

What do you all think bout getting a SS wing for it and then spraying it with perfect match dupli-color paint so I dont have to pay over $100 for paint? Ive got the Victory Red color?

Also, anybody got a K&N air intake? wondering if it's worth the $290??

let me just say, don't do that

Find someone to trade trunks, don't make the car look ghetto up close.

Most will say to not get the high rise, but if you like it then do it, just do it right.

No wing. Lower it, assuming it isn't.

Havent lowered it. Could I just get the lowering springs for it or do I have to get the whole strut assembly as well?

Also anybody put a K&N intake in there Cobalt?

I love the high rise big wing. Just wondering if anybody is familiar with the Duplicolor Perfect match spray paint and how well it works if I should use it on the wing?

that perfect match is good from far, but far from good. just get the body shop to spray it, just have it wet sanded ready to go to save some bucks

Do not, i repeat do not waste your time rattle canning your wing. You will not be satisfied with the outcome at all. Either go wingless or have some patience and find someone here willing to trade you for your wingless trunk. Victory Red is the most common color out there i can guarantee some one would love to trade you.

Put a feeler post in the Classifieds/Parts forum.

I ordered the spoiler already. Already comes primed- just needs paint. How much you think it costs to be painted then?
