Yeah I got a 92 camaro that I have been dropping money in for years and when I decided to do my auto to trans ls1 swap I kinda got unmotivated to finish it since I got the balt 2 years ago. I told myself I'm not dropping any money in the balt but the past year I just can't help it. Especially with these damn great priced group buys. Very very addicting.

well i highly recommend the intake, that was my first mod and I loved it. The tails should work out great, i'm thinking about having a guy put leds around the reverse lights and wire them up with the outside tails to be on all the time and get brighter with the brake lights...*skyline tails*

well i did see that thread, but even before I saw that thread I thought about some how doing it. I mean if you look at the back of our cars, the tail lights resemble the tails of a skyline GT-R before the brand new ones came out. The outer tails are bigger in diameter then the inner tails. I really think thats the car chevy was basing the tail lights off of when designing the cobalt coupe. Some people say they are based off a corvette, but I disagree, because our high rise spoiler is similar to some skyline spoilers
