Talking new member; just wanting feedback on my LSJ!

Hey guys,

I'm new to the site and I'm just wanting some feedback on my LSJ I have been working on for a couple months. Just threw some new wheels and tires on.


Thanks, fam!

I like it! Looks pretty fresh i gotta say. Quite a stretch you got going there. What else is done to it?

At first I didn't like the wheels but after looking at it for awhile they aren't bad. Would look better wingless, coilovers and retro headlights

Is it just me or is that trunk a different shade? I think all and all his car has a clean appearance.

The bumper looks to be a different shade and the trunk matches the car

Looks good. I was told that with certain colors plastic vs metal will fade differently. So the plastic Looks a little darker in certain lighting. Ive noticed the silver and yellow both seem to be colors that looks a little different on the bumpers than the body.

This car would look great if it was lowlow

Silver fades bad especially with plastic.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. As far as I know everything is original and the color is all the same in person. The only thing I have done besides springs and wheels is that I have a K&N Typhoon intake. Hopefully soon I'll be putting coils and an exhaust on. They'll be changes coming. As far as my tires, I think the stretch looks good. You can call it "ruining" a cobalt but it's mine and like how it's coming along! CHEERS!

How does a car perform when tires are stretched?

Seems awkward to deteriorate handling on a performance car.

I laugh when they hit pot holes and the rim gets fucked.
