Cool Cobalt Customization

NEED SOME IDEAS!!!!!!!!! I just got a loaded 05 Cobalt LS 2.2 coupe...it has all the bells and whistles you could think of....i want to know what to do to start with the car. I am mostly interested in appearance right now since im only in high school anyway..once im in college ill do all mechanical work to the car. Open to any suggestions. So far i ordered black 10" rally stripes for the car.

You Should Get Some 19'' Inch Wheels And The Gm Ground Effect(body Kit),
C.f. Headlights, Rk Sport 3 Pieces Spoiler! And An Injen Intake!

Oh And You Seriously Need To Lower It,, Those Ls Look Like Truck Whit Rims. Maybe Some Eibach Sportline Springs!

Recently dropped too, to get rid of that insane wheel well gap, no pictures yet...

My stripes are 8" though for reference.

I definitely reccommend Eibach Sportlines, and Painted Headlights
Make sure you debadge the trunk lid too

That grill automatically requires you to get a wood grain dash kit

i am going to order the eibach lowering springs soon since that is what some of you suggest. since i have a 2.2 coupe will i have more ground clearance problems. I dont want to have to go slower in certain areas to avoid bottomiing out. thank you for your suggestions with the springs and intake
