Wow. Haven't updated since January! Not all that much to report, but I'll recap it in a few posts.
Put the summer wheels back on back in like...March? Still hadn't got the new lip on at this point.
I received my new pair of retro headlights from South Texas Retroworks. Tried to put them on twice, but to no avail because of missing wiring. I have all the stuff now, just haven't had the drive to put them on.
Picked up a set of Adrian tail lights (they're RiceBurners old set) from Snail and sent them away to Adrian for him to clean them up, simplify the wiring, and add the sequential module. I absolutely love them.
Wanted to wire them up and have it look factory. Everything's nicely tucked underneath the stock carpet. Ignore the dangling speaker wires haha.
Close up
HID Reverse bulbs
And a video of everything working to top it all off

Next up I got the lip back on. Much better than the one I had and busted off. Also lowered the front down as much as I can without killing the axle boot. Need to get under there and stretch them so I can match the height in the back.
Grabbed a set of Nitto NT555 G2's. Gotta love DiscountTireDirect's $100 off of $400. I absolutely love these tires, would recommend them to everyone.

Biggest update of them all is that I picked up a project car! As if the Cobalt wasn't a project enough
; but don't fret the Cobalt is going nowhere.2004 Saturn Ion Redline
Came with a few modification; 2.9" pulley, mid length header/DP, 60# injectors. I picked it up cheap, needs a lot of work, but is a fun little project. I'll be posting a progress thread in here sometime soon.
Cobalt is a little lower lol

Took the Cobalt up to Big Rapids for the 2nd Annual Ferris State Car show. Got to hang out with Adam (SlowBalt) and see some awesome cars. A few Cobalts were there, was a nice turn out. Was nice actually getting the car looking really clean for the first time in a long time.
Adam's now blown up big turbo base model
The other Cobalt's that were there
