Stock Or Not

Hey, im just curious, whether you have a ss/sc, lt/ls coupe or sedan.

What was the first thing you wanted/did upgrade?

What have you done so far?

What do you think makes your car different from others?

Whats next in mind for a MAJOR upgrade?

First thing I did was color-matched headlights. What makes mine different is the headlights, and the next major upgrade will be Stage2

I have an SS/SC coupe. First thing I did was take off the ugly-ass dealership badge they put on the car. And actually that's ALL I've done so far (no room/tools for doing my own work).

There aren't that many other girls that drive one, that's what makes it different.

Next upgrades will probably be the airbox mod, painted calipers, snow tires and rims ( ), and then the stage kits when they come out. At some point down the line I want to replace the shifter, put a short throw kit on, and replace the god-awful e-brake handle.

i have a 2005 LT sedan. my mods are nothing......they are license plate frame, 4100k bulbs (not hid), and 20% window tints. i have no future mods in mind as i might rather trade it in for a nice impala.....or even the future camaro .

Why would you want an impala over the cobalt How old are you and maybe the new camaro would be ok but knowing how dodge made a four door charger wouldnt be surprised if gm does the same

05 Black Ebony Inserts SS/SC...

My first upgrade was the AEM prototype intake...

Current mods are the intake and PsiFi Kit....

I guess the Psifi kit makes it different? Not very many people have it ... YET...
Other then that its just like every other SS... which is fine with me...

Next mod is either going to be GM STG2 (hopefully in conjunction with PsiFi kit... ) or TOG Headers and Downpipe... Really waiting for SEMA and possible Gravana magnusson supercharger swap or Psifi twin kit... Oh ya... I want to get the wheels black chromed... but turn around time is 3 weeks... Cant go without the car for 3 weeks..

Arrow

05 SS/SC
Removed the dealership tag
Billet Grille in front of intercooler
"Cobalt SS" decal across windsheild with matching Cobalt SS lettering
Red Interior Neons
"Supercharged" Flame decal across rear windsheild, matching cobalt style letters
Red and Black conduit/silicone hose scheme under the hood
"Supercharged SS" liscense plate frame, matching cobalt style letters
"Cobalt SS" decals for rear mini-windows, matcing cobalt style lettering
Shorty antenea
K&N intake on the way a long with Borla catback, holding off on headers and downpipe/cat untill Hahn Racecraft releases the dual-charging system so i can run both the turbo and supercharger. Also, a functional Carbonfiber ram air hood coming soon. SS badge to replace front bow-tie badge on upper-grille. B&M billet short throw shifter coming soon. Blacked-out headlights(painted) with HID bulbs and blacked-out or Clear tail lights, unless they come out with carbonfiber headlights and tail lights. And Lambo style doors, i think, the ones that are hinged at the very top and open up, not up and forward at an angle

I'm the only person with a Red SS/SC like mine, and one of a few SS's let alone SS/SC's in Delaware.

And i forgot all the other things that were asked, had a long list

Anybody have any stories about how they bought their cobalt or why?, I personally bought mine because of gas prices and my big ass truck just wasnt doin for gas mileage and i was also ready for a better daily driver.
