Out of the options you gave... I guess the rk sport one... the other look hideous. Personally I'm not into crazy looking hoods or bodykits. I like clean smooth lookin body lines. But again its your car...you can do whatever you like and whatever makes you happy.

Heres the mods, Injen cold air, Ark Lowering springs, DC sports 4-1 header, DC sports exhaust IMO sounds the best, HKS performance chip with air temp system, HKS spark plugs heavy duty, Black works cam seals, weopen r coolant tank, NRG torque dampers, Blackworks head gasket, Eldebrock throttle body, HKS Fuel Injectors - 600cc Low Impedance, ARK DT-P Coilover System - Track Performance Spec, KYB Shock - GR-2,
Baer Brake Kit

The car is in the shop on a lift ready for a turbo, I have everything that I need or else I wouldnt be asking for the appearance of the car, I know performance and want your guys professional help on what to have the car look like and thanks for helping

No matter what its still a Cobalt and not a CIVIC (RICER)
