Help me out?

I have a 2007 laser blue cobalt lt. I would like to mod it with things like an ss front and back bumper that is already painted. Maybe some interior stuff. Also a ss wing with the trunk that is already painted. But open to other things. Im a 16 year old kid so a low price would be much appreciated. Im also not a stupid 16 year old kid that doesnt know anything about cars. I definitely know my way around. I have a 70 chevelle too so yea im a car guy dont try to over price please.

So pretty much you want to change the body and interior without doing **** to the suspension or engine, I believe that's called rice.

All of the appeal of the better model, none of the power. Yup.

Save your money and mod the Chevelle.

Ps. No one is going to cut you a deal because you are 16. I dont care if your 12 or 75; market value is market value. Only way youll catch a deal around here is in an emergency part out thread..

Throw fe5 suspension and at least 17" rims on before you do the body. It will look terrible.
There are two base g5s rolling around with they setup on stock suspension and 16" rims and it looks bad... If you don't plan to go lower don't do the high-rise spoiler because it only makes the too high look worse.

Big bumpers tiny wheels lol.

First step would be to get yourself some larger wheels.

THEN go on the rest of the appearance.
Otherwise you'll look like you're skippin leg day:

I was looking into engine mods just unsure of what i want to do. I was looking into tuning stuff like that. I do have a hi flow catback exhaust and a cold air intake. But something that wont cost a lot but will make it run better is fine with me. Thats why i am looking around im just unsure on what to do suggestions would help though. You guys have done it before not me.

Stop posting, start reading.

The How-to section and engine specific technical discussion are the sections you want to go to.

Opening new threads will only get you chastized.
Your best bet is to find a thread already open relating to something you want to talk about and post there.
