Smile New to the crew! - Naperville, IL

Hey all!

First of all, I'd just like to state how much of an impact this forum has had on my recent car searching and purchase! I just moved to Naperville, IL with my fiance and I've been car searching for over 2 months. This past Wednesday, I finally picked up an 07 Cobalt SS - Blue. I love the car, and I love the forum! It has been so helpful in terms of statistics, upgrades, customization, and many other aspects that REALLY made me stick it out for a cobalt rather than any other vehicles I looked at! I'm very excited to be apart of this forum and will be upgrading my account soon!

I'll be posting pics of the new balt very soon, and I've already ordered some parts that I can't wait to install.

All of that being said, I'd love to be able to promote CSS.net! How does one go about ordering decals? I'm looking for 4 white ones. Two for the rear windows, and two for the inside door panels. If someone could help me out with this, I'd be very grateful! I look forward to meeting everyone and hopefully adding to an already outstanding forum!

Edit: Picture adds:

(sorry, at work. Had to go out on my lunch and do a quick photo shoot.)

Here she is:

A few other cars I was looking at: 2013 Chevy Sonic RS, 2013 Chevy Cruze ECO, 2010 Volkswagen GTI, 2010 Mazda Speed3, and a few others I've honestly already forgotten about.

What sold me on the Cobalt were a few factors: Budget (priority), Speed, handling, pickup/power, and comfort. Speed, pickup/power, and budget won over all of the others.

The Sonic and Cruze definitely wont on comfort, which is to be expected.

The Sonic and GTI won on handling.

Now granted, Handling and comfort can be changed, which is why isn't wasn't as big of a deal to me. I also shied away from the 2013's because they came with warrentys and I like to play to much

Welcome!

We rotate meets between the west, north and south... You take you turn being close or having to drive, makes it fair for everyone.

We do most of the planning on https://www.facebook.com/ChicagoEcotec but will post info up on here too.

The next big meet is up in Grayslake. 3 day event, starting with dinner Thursday night, track rental on Friday, and the show in Saturday.
