What should I do next?

I've got $150 to play around with and it's going to the cobalt! Don't ask me how I got it, just give me your opinions I'm not a ricer, I am able to do most things on my own, such as diy work (Hence the airbox mod lawl). It's an open discussion! I'm just ready to see a change in her!

I say start off with the cheap/free mods first like de-badging, painting the headlights maybe some eyebrows...

Springs. You can get some K-sport springs for around $150. My friend Chase has them on his '05 SS/SC and they damn near slam it. Nicer drop than my Sportlines IMO.

And I haaaattteee when people put the SS badge up front in place of the bowtie. It just looks so goofy b/c it dosent completely cover up the area the bowtie covered originally.

And painting the headlight housings is a pretty cheap, worthwhile mod I suppose.

I say lower it! But if your 150 includes an alignment then you might have a problem there.

Yeah, I have debadged the trunk bowtie, painted the front bowtie matching the color, airbox mod, stage 2, Ingalls ETD, and I've dressed up the engine compartment a little bit. And yes, lowering sounds awesome, but the fiancee' is worried about it being "too-low" Painting the headlights interests me A LOT ...but I'm worried about condensation and the fact that my car's shell looks like a virgin as far as appearance mods

Eh, I disagree. I wish mine had come out as low as his. Sportlines stance is mediocre at best. My RX-7 was lower, and even it sat too high for me. I like the look of a slammed car.
