Yeah, the seats were cool. I like the dual exhaust too. I like the dark tint, and the tvs look nice in the dark.

Take off those gay rims, it's not an Escalade. Too much orange inside but other than that it's alright.

i didnt get those fender vents from autozone people. in fact, they dont even sell those at autozone around here. the ones they sell are much smaller. i had them ordered offline

If you get rid of the stick on crap, relocate that SS badge, repaint the interior WITHOUT the glitter crap (and stick to one color), get better looking after market tails, get a real aluminum top grille, and smaller less weighing rims, then your car would look much better. I'm not going to say anything about the tv's, except 5 is a little obsessive. Two is really sufficient... And there's no need for a rear view tv. That's waaay too distracting and dangerous IMO.
THE SS BADGE IS IN THE SAME SPOT THAT IT WAS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2005. when i purchased the car off the showroom floor 3 years ago. the badges were located there. ive noticed they have changed em soon after. idk why,.

well at least you guys are honest now. haha. do keep in mind. most of you guys are power and sport men. im not. when i bought the car i knew nothing about racing and power ****. i am a show and flashy kinda person. i put chrome on all my cars and electronic lights and tvs are my style. i know it may not be the style of a racing environment...but thats why i do it. to be different. IT TURNS HEADS. may be good or bad...but i never bought anything off autozone. i buy stuff offline, GM, and I install things myself...in a professional way. the paint job was free inside and out. now im starting to learn more about the speed part of a car and im doing those mods. i do regret the fender vents...that will be replaced with actual vented fenders soon. smaller vents off course. the rims are heavy but who says i race? dont stop me from getting 35mpg. so i aint changing em. the tvs are useless. except for my son. but 99% of the time i dont even use them. only for shows and for those driving behind me.

i dont like my exhaust tips. i need a 4.5" straight cut rolled tip. can never find em. all the ones i see are slanted cut. i hate slanted cut tips!

naw. cuz its never on. infact, its illegal to drive with the tv in view of the driver. its nice cuz it clamps on ur factory mirror and gives me a much larger and clearer view to back. when screen is not on, its a mirror and a very effective one. its like having one of those rearview mirrors the old people have hahahaha

If anything, the dash top is too much, and lose the stick on vent things outside. Even the rims are a little blingy, and I too have 20" chrome rims. Gotta go with a more clean looking wheel next time. The tvs are nice though. And all around a nice looking Balt, other than what I mentioned above.

tail is not rice. in fact im not a member of the "bumblebee squad" or so to speak.
my car has a true low magnaflow effect, the not rice effect of a 20$ muffler from autozone

So your actual dash is like red metallic and your dash trim is SOM? Ehh too much sparkles there. I would get rid of the red.

But credit where credit is due. I haven't seen a dash like red metallic. Since we all have black dashes.

my mom does upholstery. so i rip the seats out unstritched the center inserts which were black and my mom resewed em in with an industrial sewing machine. had to add a little padding to fix GM's sagging seats...

cost me about 20$ when all said and done. the only real money i spent on this car was the zzp **** i bought for the performance/power end. everything else was lil or no money.

i hate my mirrors but cant afford to buy factory ones yet and its not my priority. the emblems and fender vents wont come off without taking paint off...and this paint is Kandy so it will never be able to be matched perfectly. anuther new paint job is coming soon.

the dash and panels are two tone red and orange. KANDY. there is absolutely no sparkles unless light is emitted to it. so at night and evening its solid. daylight is pretty flashy and abscures my vision out windshield due to reflection

millionbuy.com. i buy all my screens from there. they are high definition and cheap. cant even tell when its lit that i only paide 600 for 5 screens and dvd player. i dont blow my money. i spend lil here n there.

does anyone like the idea of having a triple charged cobalt? cuz i was wondering if its possible to have twin turbo on this? i may just being doing a little research with techs here. cuz if you can put one turbo and make it twin charged...why not squeeze in another turbo.??? of course there would be alot of other mods made to engine im sure... idk, im power hungry now. maybe too much hahah

I'm sorry but that thing is just horrible, I would honestly rather walk than drive that thing.
Ok, lets go down the list.

1. You dont put 20" Chrome rims on a ******* sports car.
2. Stop shopping for mods at AutoZone, PepBoy's, O'Riley's, and Advance Auto AND EBAY!
3. Your interior looks like a damn bumper car.
4. Hood is gross.
5. A in-dash Nav/Screen is fine, but 5+ screens? Thats retarded, its a Cobalt not a ******* Impala or Hummer.
6. Tail's are nasty aswell.
7. Dual fart cans.
8. Stick-on side vents.
9. Gay ass mirrors.
10. Gay ass badges.
You sir, are a ricer.

What you need to do to fix your car-

A. Drive it off a cliff.
B. Sell it and get a 300, Magnum, Impala something of that nature.
or
C.
Remove rims, add light weight non chrome rims.
Change hood to stock or a hood thats functional.
Remove all badges.
Re-paint interior to one or at least two solid colors.
Remove tail's.
Remove fake side vents.
Remove all ghetto tv's from your car.
Remove side mirrors.

Just my opinion tho.
