Custom mesh grill with Hella Supertones
I basically followed the instructions provided. You have to use the supplied relay for maximum loudness. Just made a couple common sense changes- wired to the jump start terminal instead of the battery, and wired to the OEM horn wire instead of the fuse box.

Haha... my car is older than you guys', and I've taken in and out headlights, the brackets, and taken the bumper off and on many times. Everything is just a little bit "off". It's a very common Cobalt problem to have headlights that don't fit flush with the bumper. In my case, I don't have to pay anything to have these body guys spend a little time massaging it.

Yes, the fitment on the lights is pretty terrible. The weird thing is that they fit much worse than the stock lights. My buddy has connections with a body shop and they're going to try to get better fitment with the lights and bumper. It's just a matter of when I want to be carless for a week.

all cobalts are like that. I used washers to even out the head light buckets and get the gap smaller. then you can also put some foam btw the bumper cover and absorber to hold the bumper up and reduce the hood gap.
^ you need to pretty much unclip the top of the front bumper, to pull it forward out of the way. then you can slide the headlight tabs in the clots and be done.
if Gen 4's fit that bad, I can imagine how shitty they must be.

Back to these supertones, I've been inspired and will be getting a set for my kidney grills. Will look sweet with the as lip, TC lower grill, and RKSPORT ram air hood. Or should I put them behind the lower grill?
dont have the patients to take the half of front bumper off.
wht i really should do is take the bumper off.
put the headlights in the buckets properly than put bumper back on haha
I saw an STi today with these, and I like the look alot. I would love to do it, but I would think it would look better without the stock cross bar that separates the upper grilles.
I wonder how the front would look with that bar cut out and a solid mesh insert... Anybody good with photoshop?
