looks vs performance??
Which one do you prefer. Looks: lowering springs, racing stripes blacked out headlights/tail lights and rims/tires or do you prefer Performance: stage2, nates 2.9", finish the exhaust with a header and downpipe, and get hptuners??? Let me know what you all think. I am trying to figure out which road to go down with modding the cobalt

love how the ss/sc looks stock so only minor exterior mods with performance in the mix... as for as suspension, stock ss/sc sit to high, so def lower it when you get a chance.

Yeah right... look at how you guys vote for Feature Car... it's all about who has the biggest wheels, body kits, and such!

FUNCTION over FORM... Shiny **** don't win races!

on a side note. your car may look pretty, but you just got your ass handed to you by a stock looking car.


the cars i fear, are the ones that look like ****, matte paint, on tire and have a subtle sound to them. not the shiney ones on street tires and big wheels.

I say performance always before looks. But again it's up to what YOU want.

I would rather have a good performing car and THEN accompany with the looks.
