Either way, great job! Gives a list prices on each of the parts, that hood rocks!

A bunch of trading, lol!!! My buddy own the body shop, and i own an aftermarket performance shop, so many trades will take place to pay the debt... If i had to guess, with the bumper, hood, lip kit, body work and paint, $3500 to $4000, somewhere around that... We actually bought the parts over a period of time and i have never added up all the totals...

I would say, more show than go on this one, But we do plan for a turbo kit, just a mild kit though, want the car to be fun to drive but still reliable, it is my wife's only ride, i am scared to drive it now, i'm afraid i'll hit a deer or something and f%4K it up...haha!!!

One of the nicest, if not the nicest looking 2.2L Cobalt I have seen yet. Love the paint job and all the body work. The hard work definatly paid off in the end for you. I also have the RK Sport hood on my Cobalt and had no fitment issues what so ever. Gives the car a more aggressive look while following the cars lines IMO. Best of luck.

Very nice. For once someone has gone mostly show and not over done it. Sporty, fun, and NOT RICE.

Once HP Tuners unlocks the 2.2 ECM you will get some good turbo kits on the market.

I like the color. I like the body work. I think the rims suit it but there is always another rim out there. still a good choice. You should post a close up of the wheel. lowered nicely. I would go lighter on the tint if it were my daily driver but it does look sick.

NO RICE ABOUT IT except there is "no go with the show". Glad to hear you have plans to change that. Is it an Auto by any chance?

No problem with All show and no go. As long as the dude is up front about it being a show car. Which he seems like he is. He mentioned dropping a turbo in it later too. Which wouldn't make it crazy fast, but he'd definitely be able to back up whatever he wanted to say. I'd say that this is a man with a plan.
