New Member/Cobalt Owner from Virginia!

Hello everyone,

My name is John, 20 years old, and I live in Fredericksburg, VA. I bought my first Cobalt about a week ago after totaling my truck. It's a 2006 SS S/C and has about 133k miles. Everything is pretty much stock except for an Injen CAI (Which is fucked up), Magnaflow muffler, and a couple of poorly done cosmetic changes.

Things that need working on:

- New CAI. The one that was already on the car has a hole in it.

- Back-up light switch. Just ordered it from my local dealer.

- Delco belt is wearing down. I ordered it a few days ago and I'm picking it up today.

- One of the actuators on the passenger side near the glovebox makes a knocking noise for about 5-10 seconds on startup. I need to figure out which actuator it is because the dealer wants over $100 just to diagnose it and probably much more to fix.

- Exterior. Bumper has a dent, numerous scratches around the whole body, side skirt clips broke on driver side, and the wheels are really scratched and beat up so I'd like to plasti dip those.

- Interior. The inside is red and black but the previous owner painted some of the trim and did a really shitty job so I might plati dip that back to something closer to the factory look.



Some upgrades that I plan on doing in the near future are:

- ZZP Stage 2 Kit.

- Hurst short throw shifter. The stock shift knob was fucked up and I've tried putting on aftermarket ones but they aren't working either so I'm just going to say **** it and buy a whole new and much better shifter.

- Maybe start upgrading the exhaust.

Here a couple of pictures! (Perhaps not the best)
