Wingless? Lowered?

I just feel like the wing kind of completes the car's look. And I'm not lowered, but I already have to be cautious when I drive over bumps and pull into my drive way, I dunno if I could handle it lowered.

If anybody has any other thoughts, advice and/or pictures that would sway my decision making I'd love to hear/see them.

dare to be different

 

Why do we have 230456734763407634 threads about this now? Do what you like. We all have different views. Look through the threads and what not. Personally, I love the 3 piece lip spoiler most. Lowered of course

 

i hear you man there are a bunch all over the board tonight.

 

For some reason I dont like the look of ur car wingless

 

Blasphemy!

 

Lowered. Get the Tjin trunk when it comes out in a few months.

 

you betta stop goin round advertising

 

I like it should be mandatory to lower a cobalt as soon as you buy one

 

I like wingless.. I'd love to swap trunks... But to pay for it? Ehh

Lowering your car is all about where you live and of you can deal with it, like you said..

 

Yeah, and I'm usually really good about searching, because I know I'll be crucified if I don't. But it was late, so I wanted to post and see what results I got in the morning.

^Hah, well that's reassuring. But I kinda agree, again I'm on the fence.

Yeah, I definitely like the "look" of a lowered Cobalt, it's just that in Florida there's so many old people, so if I'm not on a main road you can bet I'm going to be driving over a drag strip full of speed bumps.
^^True that man. I like that advice.

I DO like the Tjin trunk though. Also I was wondering, how easy (and reliable) is it to put the wing back on? I know there's a ton of glue, should I glue it back on as well, or it fine with just the bolts?

 

drop it.. it's not like you have to worry about pushing snow in the winter.. you're one of the lucky ones who gets to look at green grass year round. If you're worried about scraping-- dont go super low.. ie coilovers.. i just put sportlines on my car. gives it a nice drop but not slammed. fairly easy install too.

WTF am I doing? This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

 

Bump for question, how easy (and reliable) is it to put the wing back on? I know there's a ton of glue, should I glue it back on as well, or it fine with just the bolts?

 

i **** people off by not having my car lowered, im doing it on purpose now.

 

It's not glue it's molding adhesive, like is on body trim. It's not just there for adhesion, it provides a cushion as well. My boyfriend took mine off (AGAINST my wishes), and put it on without adhesive. It rattles like no other. BUT if you don't like it off, just buy double sided 3M body molding/trim adhesive - you can get it just about anywhere. Cut it to fit BEFORE you re-attach.

As for lowering, it's your performance expectation vs what's practical for you. The only springs performance-wise I would put on would be Pedders, but I went with LNF FE5 springs because of where I live. At stock ride height, it looks like a 3 year old went at the bottom of my lip with a belt sander, and that's with coming on and off my street at 2-3mph and at an angle.

 

Great thanks for the heads up.
But what I don't get is you said at stock ride height it gets scratched. And you still lowered it? Sorry new to this stuff.

 

No, no, it scrapes at stock ride height, the LNF suspension doesn't lower the car noticeably (if at all, I think the height might be identical), but it has better spring rates/better handling than the LSJ suspension. That's why I went with the LNF springs rather than getting Pedders (even though the drop is minimal on them as well.

 

You're an angel. Thanks.

 

Not a problem, glad I could provide input.
