I've got an 08 special edition cobalt and it soooo needs something... anything in the way of mods. I don't have money and I have parents that paid the down payment so nothing over the top performance wise or not parent friendly... what have other people done to base model trims that adds to the car without making it ricer-ish.

 

Debadge the rear bowtie. Paint the front one.

 

well if you have a special edition like me... start with a lil paint here n there... find someone to trade spoilers with and tint the windows... this car from this...









to this has been all of $150







if you have any questions lemme know

also... what kind of special edition... i noticed you have the Rev. wheels but you dont have the body side molding, or the stripes?

 

take moldings off the sides, debadge/rebadge, paint (interior/calipers/drums/headlights), airbox mod, . Spending a few dollars you can do some lighting, LEDs and such. I have a tight bankroll so these are things I've done (except debadging) I'm going to paint the ccalipers and drums when I get to it lol and I'm too chicken to take the headlights apart to paint them. The Airbox mod will lower the exhaust note at WOT and is free.

 

yea debadge and tint tails. looks sexy

 

body side molding and the strips were an option.....i have the molding just no stripes

 

HOME DEPOT LIP!!!! lol

 

oh the rev kit i got had all the rev options... idk it was the last one in the states in black n yellow.. i would take it however lol and they shipped it to me so all is well

 

What are you going to do about this?

 

Hes gonna give me the SS wing

 

Dont know if you know what im talking about or not.


YOU SHOULD NIGHTSHADE YOUR TAILS AND THEN PUT A CLEAR COAT ON THEM.

 

Huh didn't know that, however it makes a lot of sense. Gloss and protection. On the topic of nightshades If I go for a quick spray on my headlights can I get then just a little dark not blacked out? Basically a light tint

 

if i was u i would paint the rearbowtime stripe matched so it will look better

 

Dont know if you're being sarcastic or not.

But you can do em like this:

1 COAT:

2 COATS:

3 COATS:

 

I was serious. I guess I never thought about it. Thanks tho! Something else I can do on a boring day.

If you dont put the gloss on, it will look like this:



With Gloss it will look like this:

 

best bang for the buck are nightshades $10

springs for around $100-150 shipped, if youbuy them i can send you my spring compressor if you pay shipping. thats all you need plus the propper tools to install, makes the car look 100 times better

 

Your car actually looks really good dude. Im normally not a fan when people paint there radio bezels and stuff but yours is unique and professional looking. Nice work!

 

The moldings are optional and they were expensive. And my car is black and I don't know if I like the white stripes on black cars yet... I want to slap some vinal or paint on the badges and probably get rid of the back bow tie but even though I hear how easy debadging is it's still different when its my car... don't want to screw up

 

i like the interior

 

thankya... and as far as the back goes... im doing my bowtie to follow the stripes also.. just taking every detail into it

 

yo my man, what gloss did you use? and let me know where i can grab it at. thanx

 

I got a LS too...I was thinking about springs but how low can you go and still fit 17''s later on, I got 15''s atm?

 

u should be able to fit springs+17's easy.

 

sweet Thx! Then that is next on my list then! Don't got a grand for rims atm but I can save up $300 for springs.
