Cool Appearance Update for my 08 TC

Hey guys,
Just wanted to share my update with you all. Last time I posted pics was with just the suede interior, Carbon Fiber hood and trunk. Well I fiddled around with the interior some more and put in spike studs. Originally I wanted just small leather studs but none would just screw from the other side so I had to get the spikes. I actually love the look of the spikes now so it works (and before you put in your 2 cents about safety I made sure not to interfere with the airbags or curtain airbags so it is perfectly safe). I got Gen 3 projectors from another member on this site and love them. Then I got 8000K HIDs for the lowbeams and regular xenon bulbs for the high beams as they are white with a tinge of blue as it is (the projectors I had in the same bulbs in but it didn't have any blue tinge so I went for HIDs). I also have 6000K for the fogs and I got a Magnaflow muffler installed and I love the sound of it now! I have a shorty antenna on the way but it hadn't arrived when I took these pics. Anyways, enough talk, time for pics!






Thanks for looking!

Not rlly diffing the inside but as long as you like it, also I know it HAS to be just the angle but your car is looking odd wingless...keep doing what makes you happy though,

Why would you put spikes all over the inside? Do you buy wear those huge pants with chains all over them from hot topic?

Exterior is nice.

Well you are all entitled to your own opinion as I am mine. I personally like it and so does everyone else that has seen it in person. And no I do not dress punk or have many piercings. I am an officer in the military so I really can't dress like that. I just found it unique.

Kind of like the suede. I had thought about having someone cover the dash in leather if I decided to keep this car. figured it would great help the appearance and overall feel of it. But it would just be black leather with white or red stitching

For those of you that gave respectful comments about disliking the interior, thank you. For the rest of the immature piles of rotten flesh that just had to have their say, you comments are about as useful to me as an ******* at the end of my elbow. Emoticons... really? Is that necessary? Or are you all really 12year old girls whose excitement for the day is causing drama and stalking celebrities on facebook and twitter? Grow up... If you do not have anything constructive to say then go infect another forum.
As for the safety of the spike studs, they are rounded off so as to not be a safety issue. Also the placement of the studs is such that it does not impede or negate the effects either passenger or curtain airbags.
It's no wonder people hate most cobalt owners.
