Body kit is on.
So, last night I installed my body kit. Ill let the pictures do the talking.
WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR:
LAST SUMMER:
NOW!
Oh and if you want to post "your a fake ss" or anything along those lines, dont bother. This is IMO the only good looking body kit avaliable for the cobalt so that is why i got it.
Next on the list is a set of ss/tc grilles and a new exhaust tip.

Haha yeah ill get wooped lol... I dont race anyways.
For paint and the modification of the rear lip to get it to fit was $800
The body panels came out to about $1600 (price is high becasue i got them thru gm)
other Misc. pieces were $400
So it was fairly costly but all the parts were new so that hiked up the price considerably

why not lower it during the summer? after you do it once or twice you can switch out the springs in like 30mins.. it will look a lot better

Switching out the springs was not an easy task for me. The rears were cake, but I could not get my spring compressor to compress the spings enough to get the strut bot loose. Ended up taking it to the shop. Do not want to go thru that again. Plus, I would need to get an alignment 2 times a year if i kept switching them out.

whenever you mess with your suspension you should get an alignment. After putting on the FE5s my car pulls to the right, so i gotta get i down to the shop sooner than later.

Looking really good!!!! I would go with the ca #1 springs. They dropped only an inch for me front and 1 1/2 back. That's the least amount of drop that's out there besides pro-kit.
