recent stuff...
put new foglights in... my hid kit crapped out on me and i just didn't wanna get a new one so oem bulbs it is
supercharged logo
new wheels semi recently
and installed a pioneer avic-f900bt. had gps, bluetooth, and dvd playback etc.
didn't take many pics of the lengthy install but after a few days of jerking around i got it all sorted out. wired a switch so i don't have to deal with the ebrake, mounted the gps antenna behind a rear headrest, and got rid of the stock onstar mic so i had a place to hide the bluetooth microphone. out of sight, out of mind
also ran the included usb wire and a new headphone jack wire to come out by the ebrake.
other things in the works currently: extra steering wheel is somewhere getting a redlinegoods suede wrap stitched on, i'm awaiting new switches and leds to get all my leds converted to bright white by rains_crusaider, and will soon take my headliner and visors to a shop to get wrapped in suede as well

yeah I ended up using some youtube video, was a while ago but it involved pulling a wire out the harness from the unit and putting a different wire in its place, I know the wire was yellow lol, like I Said it was a while ago but worked perfect

Lightly rubbed a cobblestone wall on a tiny mountain road with the rear passenger side the other day, damaged the side skirt jsut below the door and before the rear wheel well, and dinged up my aftermarket rim, also busting the cord in the tire. I was going all of 4 mph, if that. Luckily only real damage besides the tire is cosmetic, insurance claim here I come.
Stock 18's back on today, with Conti ExtremeContact All Weather, DWS rated rubber. Winter is coming, might as well get ready, this will be my first one with her.
I do follow the page colodude, hopefully will be able to make the next one.

Yeah those Konis make a big difference. I haven't ran mine on anything but full soft and that seems to work great, including at the track. We usually do a fall colors cruise before the snow starts flying. Keep an eye on our fb page www.facebook.com/5280cobalts I usually announce there when I'm going to HPR as well.

Installed some brembos on my 06 ss/sc Getting ready for some track time coming soon and the stock brakes were not cutting it. I have a different set of rotors and pads for track events, the ones pictured are just for street use.

Parked this next to it
Say hello to my second car, sitting at exactly 68,900 in my driveway. Amazing considering it's an 04 all stock too besides a K&N intake and a Hurst STS (which is absolute crap FYI). Those are the old plates, new ones will be on tomorrow and to order the custom plates as well. To be honest I probably will make some modifications, on another note I now have 3 sets of Ion Redline wheels...

in the process of installing a set of goodridge SS brake lines i got for 70 dollars off on ebay :x all 6 lines too. Sick and tired of that spongy pedal. Also gotta replace the rear ebrake cables, and hoping that fixes my issue with the ebrake not engaging when the lever is pulled even though there is still tension. Tension screw is completely bottomed out on the handle.
