just wondering what kind of mods that i could do to my sedan? just want to do a few to make it different from the rest. any ideas? dont want anything to look rice

 

A nice set of wheels (not cheap junk) and a nice set of retrofit headlights makes a huge difference in appearance. It's hard to look different when so many people out there own the same car as you, just about anything you can think of has been done. do you have a base model? SS? What color car? A few more details would help

 

Hoods trunks headlights tail lights rims tires suspension debadge paint hids interior


Anything lol

 

I have a lazer blue ls sedan. i have debadged my trunk and have nightshades on my tails already.

 

Lower it, get some rims, search the site for some ideaS

 

Lowering it should be the first thing, then maybe some rims and lights. What are your views on performance, ever think about super/turbocharging it?

 

See sig.

Also, MRZ makes door sills for the sedan, you can do the chrome or anodized fluid caps and strut caps from them as well.

IPCW makes decent smoked and blacked tails for the sedan, and the headlights are the same as the coupes.

But as already said (especially if non-SS), lowering is a good first.

 

ok imo get an aftermarket lip kit. Don't go full body kit. Or get an SS kit. but if you wanna be different, get a lip kit, preferably the GM lip kit. Get a nice set of wheels, imo don't do the black/polished lip combo, it's way overdone, go with a solid color. Having 4x100 gives you TONS of wheel options

 

None of the body kits Ive seen for Cobalts look nice. The SS is probably the classiest that is out. SS Sedans look great imo. That and some rims will really change the look.

 

Any link for gm lip kit?

 

Not really sure where you can get it. Crate engine depot or pfyc might have it, not sure though. Never seen where it's sold, just know that it's my favorite lip kit

 

Gm sells it

 

I never even thought about doing anything performance wise. With me having an ls i never thought that it would be worth it. Does lowering the car ruin the ride? From what I have heard it makes the ride more bumpy, or not as smooth I should say.

 

Lower it (Pedders/Eibach Sportlines), wheels, RK Sport has some nice body items we also carry on our site.

 

I'm slammed on ark stp coilovers, full stiffness, yes it's alot more rough, but I love it,

 

i dont think i want to have a stiffer ride imo. i like how my ride is now.

 

Darker window tint, intake/exhaust, rims, lower, headlights/tailights, debage, shorter antenna

and other misc. stuff that you like minor details
Good luck with it

 

Lowering springs will not effect your ride
To much, go with cm springs or Canucks, made in Canada and like stock ride with a 2 inch or something drop

 

hmmm I will look into the canucks springs then. Im new to cars so dont get mad, but whats the purpose of air intakes and exhausts? do they both add horspower?

 

an aftermarket intake will allow the motor to pull in more air, and an exhaust will let it out of the car easier. Essentially to make more power in an engine you need to remove restrictions, and both of those will help with that. It won't be a lot, maybe 5-7 hp each, but they certainly will make the car sound better too (well that's more of opinion).

 

by just adding an intake will it make the car sound different? also what does and axhaust and intake do to your mpgs?

 

yes it will make the engine sound like it's taking a deeper "breath". Think of it like this, intake makes the car sound louder from the front, exhaust makes it sound louder from the back. Both can increase MPGs a little bit, but most of what you get for MPGs in a car is due to driving habits anyways.

 

TTR Upper Engine mount is also popular.

 

its the little things that count. when anybody checks out my sedan, they all comment on all the small details, such as the cf wrapped bowtie for example. that and the shorty antenna, debadged, color matched trunk lock, lowered, nice wheels, tinted tails, aftermarket headlights, all that jazz. every little thing adds up

 

when you color matched the trunk lock did you just buy touch up paint from gm and paint it yourself? man im really torn between lowering my car or not. how much does it cost to have lowering springs installed? does it just depend on where i go? also i just read the tread about making a shorty antenna, when i cut my antenna do i just cut right through the wire that is wrapped around the antenna?
