Just teasing you, OP. I am going to agree with everyone who suggested you just buy an SS if you really want an SS. It's pointless to convert an LS into SS appearance. It'll just be a poser.
oops


I got front ss bumper. front ss lip, side skirts, rear lip and ss high raise...

how did you delete an intake silencer? Do you have a OBDII to USB converter and plug in the keyboard and hit this key?




If you hit it multiple times will the whole car disappear? I suggest doing that.

in all seriousness. Don't try to convert a ls cobalt to an ss. Its more money than you would or should possibly want to invest into the car. Your better off trading in your current car and buying an ss.

Considering the car has guyliner on it, I'm going to say "How Bout No."

The point of the picture while going 35mph is a very good one. Please pay attention to the road, not your phone!!!!!!

Been there done that, really is cheaper to just get an SS. I daily a Ion Redline and my cobalt is an 09 2.2, only base models worth engine mods are the 07-10 that you can actually tune with HPT. Now for parts, SS kit is probably $700 at the cheapest, then grab seats. Power conversion is a bitch but lucky I have a friend that's good at that. Suspension is easily $1500 if not more, I'm better than a regular SS there though. For power you have a few options, SC which is about a grand or turbo which even pieced together is going to run around $1500 at the very cheapest, either option still needs gauges so add in another $300 minimum. Engine is then the weak point, it's good on a SC (unless really pushed) but easy to go too big on a turbo, which is why I'm now on a LE5 which is a direct swap from the 09-10 2.2 LAPs
