I just got it so I am fixing a few things that the previous owner half butted. Plan on giving her a second chance to be the car it is meant to be, a rare legend. Lol

Hey Chris! If you want info on your Cobalt such as build date, features, options codes, any remaining warranty, recalls or anything else like that just send me a private message with your VIN and mileage.

Mainly the stereo. I am buying a factory head unit and just plugging it in. Few other minor things.

Well she is in the bay getting a new clutch put in. Is there a spot for project threads here, or is this the place for it?

hahaha... not Los Angeles, not Louisiana, but Lower Alabama... I like you. An outside-of-the-box thinker

On a seriouse note, welcome! I was at Barksdale for 5 years so I'm pretty familiar with the Bossier/Shreveport area if you are around there. The best option imo would be to trade trunks with someone in your area. Removing the spoiler can be a pain and leaves nasty holes.

I'm actually not 100% on the bolt patterns/trunk holes but I do know that it is a pain in the ass just to get the spoiler off. Assuming yours has never been removed before, there is a **** ton of epoxy that holds the spoiler along with the bolts, and that epoxy can be a pain if you have never removed it before. You'll need a hair dryer, dental floss, goo-gone/tar remover, and a **** ton of patience. In my opinion, it would be a lot easier and more time efficient to just swap the trunks.

it's faster and easier to swap trunks than to cut/remove the sealing caulking.

I went to basic training with a guy from L.A. which was to him, Lower Alabama. It's stuck in my mind ever since.

I believe mine has been off before. I can gently lift up and see through the bottom.

Easiest way to tell is if your supercharger pulley bolts are blue, and if your rev limiter is at 7k(stock is 6.5k)
