I'll update this thread as I start actually modding the car slowly (but I do plan on modding it eventually). So far, it's completely stock. Why did I make a thread, though?
If some of you recall, I made a thread sometime last month about how my car was vandalized by some punk(s) who keyed it all around. Haters gonna hate, right? Well, here's how she looked before:


Here's how she looks now:








I plan on doing an Evo mod soon with Plastidip. I'll probably Plastidip the rims, too.
Performance-wise I won't be doing too much. Why not? Well, my car has over 82k miles on it already. I can pretty much guarantee that doing major performance mods would be a waste of money. I just want to drop an intake in it, maybe a downpipe and then tune it. That should be good enough since the Cobalt SS is already pretty damn quick right out of the factory!
As for what else I want to do? Other than the Evo mod, I want to lower it a bit. I can name a bunch of other things as well, but I won't list them because I'm not too sure if my broke ass can afford to do too much.
Hope you guys like it. If not, oh well. I did it for me, not for anyone else. My friends and family love it, which is all that matters.

 

whats the actual name of this color?

 

Raspberry metallic.
I can't remember the paint code but if you're interested, I can look it up later. I have a receipt from the bodyshop with the paint code on it.

 

just curious, looks good but ill leave mine white BTW you never got back to me about the intake so i put it back on hahaha

 

i hope your a girl right?

 

If you're still willing to sell it in a few weeks, I'll probably buy it then. Sorry, I know, I know. I suck...
I don't have too much money because of the following:
Minimum wage job + college expenses + raising a 1 year old + car payment + bike payment + insurance for both + paying for gas on both + miscellaneous expenses = lack of expendable cash.
Also, I will probably need help installing the intake and I'm too broke to pay someone to do it! Maybe you can help when I'm able to get the cash together to buy it off you...? Let me know! I've still got your #, Greg, so I'll be in touch.


Haters gonna hate?

 

That's a pretty nice neighborhood for being broke.

The color is not my taste but it looks nice. Kudos for being different.

 

haha no not hating just stating.

looks very different on a cobalt (stands out) lol and glad your happy with it

 

cobalt ss - starburst edition.

 

interesting..

 

can i see a image of the door sills and engine bay?

 

Im curious if they were painted too

 

i doubt it. but prove me wrong

 

You painted your car a feminine color, expect a lot of hate. It wouldn't surprise me if those dick bags come back and scratch the dogshit out of it again shoulda stuck with the factory color IMO but it is YOUR car.

 

haha you knew what im talkin bout

 

it has potential, paint the headlights black, the rims black with a pink little line around them, the bowtie black and taillights. i bet it would look 10000x better

i like being the different one, let them hate all they want.

 

I think it has some potential with black accents, but honestly I thought the vandalism was someone painting your car that color

 

meh

 

haha oh **** this is the cobalt that a few of the SoCalEcotecs guys have been seeing and some girl i was dating saw it to i was like a purple/pinkish cobalt?

hmm dont think ive ever seen one before lol it looks like they did a good job but id have to see it in person to say if i like it or not lol

 

I just got the car back today. You sure they've seen mine?



Honestly, guys, the pics don't do this car justice imo. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Oh, well.
A lot of people have been complimenting the car all day today. Mostly girls, but eh. I think I'd prefer female attention over male attention anyway.
If I end up doing more to this car, I'll update this thread.

Thanks, man. That's what I plan on doing anyway. Probably use Plastidip to do everything, except for the headlights and tail lights.

 

haha oh ok maybe it was another purple cobalt lol and u gonna finally come out to a SoCalEcotecs meet maan? were having the next one Oct 15th at adams motosports park in riverside!

 

^^^ Hell yes That's around my way!
I would've gone to the one that was on Sept 17th also, but my car was in the shop. I probably won't drive on that track, though, btw, because it's tiny and I don't want to crash. Hahaha

 

haha its all good maan so see u there?

 

Yes, definitely. I'll send you a PM in a bit with my cell phone #.

Still broke, though. I live with my fiance's mommy.

 

Proven wrong?





I'll admit they didn't paint some parts underneath the front and rear bumpers, but they didn't do a lazy job of it.
Also, they skipped painting some parts of the engine bay because it would've cost more and I said, "**** no."
