hey where did you get that silver trim? (please do not say crateenginedepot for 230$). I want it really badly for my ls. Any info will be appreciated.
^ Why put so much money into a basic cobalt? Instead of not getting a SS?
Just wondering.
??
The car was a graduation present.. And why buy something when all I'm going to do is tear it apart and make it my own? If I had an SS it wouldnt really make a difference anyway! I didnt want anything that it came with because I knew I was going to do what I did! Im working on my turbo build now so the supercharger would be rendered useless! The l61 has a ton of potiental and its been proven with what alot of people have done with cavaliers!
And for the love of God dont quote pictures!
NightHawk I like your idea for the gauge in the pull down on the left!

I guess you could look at it that way.
But either way, your car looks really good.
here's the pre-owned '09 LT that i bought 3 weeks ago...
those first two pics were taken at the dealership while waiting for the bank to approve the loan. in the last pic ignore the nasty floor mats, they were in the sedan that i traded in and just havent bothered to get new ones yet.
all i've done to it so far is paint the front bowtie black, debadged the rear then put "c o b a l t" where the bowtie would have been. i also chopped the antenna in half then added a couple club stickers. i allowed the dealer to put a plate bracket on the front to avoid getting pulled over [happend one too many times with a previous car] tho i wouldnt quite call that a mod lol but thats it for now. i have more plans in mind and better pictures to take, just waiting for warmer weather.
this is my LT its got about a dozen mods, cant remember all of them.
