RK Sport 3 Piece Installed
So I had enough of not being able to see out my rear view and ordered a RK sport wing.
Since my car already had the stock hi rise on it, I figured it was going to be cheaper to go the wreckers and get a wingless trunk rather than have the holes filled in, It saved me about $750.00.They wanted over $1000 to fill in the holes (10 hours labour @ $133/hour) I got the trunk for $250/tax
Anyway in order to do it right I had them repaint the whole back of the car so it would blend in right. It was alot more expensive this way but in the end worth the money.

im the only person that thinks that wing from the back looks UGLY
from the sides it looks cool tho..
atleast you did it tho, its not cheap mod to do..and atleast looks tastefull compared to that tackey basket handle thats called a "high rise"

I love this wing on the balt, by far my favorite. But damn those, tail lights look like warts or something makes the rear end look crazy, they stick out way to far. Overall looks good though man.

Thanks for the comments guys good or bad, its important to be able to look at it from all sides.
I will post more pics in a bit, some ones from farther away I just can't from my underground parking area due to space.
There called Bermuda Black, if you go to the IPCW web site they have a few different styles of the tail light.

I know that they stick out farther than the stock ones do (just the inside ones) but its a small price to pay for 4 functional lights, all 4 light up as brake lights and both ones on each side blink with the turn signals. The pictures do them no justice, in person they blend alot better
I knicked named my car "The Big Shopping Buggy" when it had the old wing on.
Thanks by the way, even though you might not like the mod you saw the effort that went into getting it done
Thats a hell of a drive for a wing
I am actually getting a new car next summer but I'm not getting rid of the balt, I need something a little more practical so I was looking into a Pontiac G8 GXP, something that I won't need to mod up to much, but has 4 doors, getting the kid into the back of the Cobalt is a bit of a pain.
I have plans to put a Harrop HTV1320 on the car by spring, but I have to figure out what the best cooling mod to go with would be, Heat Exchange? IDK I have to do a little more research first , once its done the car will be a summer only car. Its a 2007, Ive had it for a year and a half but have yet to hit 20,000kms or about 9000 miles so she's got plenty of life in her

What IPCW tail lights are those -- clear with red inserts?

OK more pics
Keep in mind it was raining out and the middle of the night so I had to go somewhere with lights, so the quality isn't as good as I would like but if I try to wait until it stops raining, we could all be old a grey by then
Side shots, shots from farther away, and shots with the rims I tried to get the pics everyone wanted.

Oh man that looks bad ass. I've always liked that spoiler. I've had mixed feelings about if i want to get that set up. I love the wingless look over the stock spoilers but this set up is ****.
