2K5SS/SC that does look nice, even if your rear is naked. I think after you get featured ride I should try for a featured ride later this year.

Thanks for the comments guys. Keep them coming.

Victory, I'll be more than willing to vote for you in a couple months for ROTM. You'll be turbo'd by then, and I'll be twinscrewed!

Stilagar you have a PM on the headlights.

Cobalt Supercharged, here you go. Check out my upper grill how-to for more info.

I hear that one. The grill is a time consuming project to get it to look good. I'll need to get off the site soon enough for installs as well. AEM UEGO is here, CTI header is on the way, and HPTuners is enroute as well. Looks are there plus the weight reduction from the tires/wheels, so now it's time for more power and setting the car up for the twinscrew!

The HP Tuners will make the tuning really easy for you and Tag. Data Log a few runs, send the files to Tag and they should be able to modify the tune and send you back the binary file. Should be sweet.

That's the plan.

I guess I shouldn't mention then that I paid off the car today as well! I officially own it outright after only 16 months! Got to love that military reenlistment bonus for my ever increasingly dangerous careerfield!

I am no longer speaking to you and you are now on my "block" list. J/K

I wish I could pay mine off that soon and add all those sweet mods. Hopefully that will all be changed by next year after I finish my degree.

Thanks for letting me have ROTM. I hope the Mods think the same as well.

The headlight film covers kill the light output, and I hate them for that reason. I turn on the fogs to compensate though if needed. They complete to look of the car right now until I can figure out what to do there. I'd go with the black projectors, but I cannot stand the top part of them. I was thinking of masking them off and painting eyelids to match the car and hid the ugly top part, if I were to go that route.

Sorry, can we still be forum friends though? I've had to save and plan things for while to get the car where it's at. Tax free deployments and a tax free bonus helps out big time, but I think it is a fair reward for having to deploy every year to the shitholes of the world.

Not to sound like a jerk or anything. The Balt looks good. However, If I were you (being that this was a photoshoot to gain support for COTM) I would have given the tires and wheel well some attention. Meaning, I think that you should have cleaned the wheel driver's side wheel well and dressed the entire exposed tire. It's a little ****, I know. But, Judges at a car show look for that kind of stuff.

Good pictures overall tho. Nice Balt.
