As I look around this site I see so many hooked up and just great lol. Though im proud to even have one I feel its just kinda there .So im looking to start making it beautiful well I should say even more beautiful. Anyone wanna share where they went for tires,tints etc.

 

do you have a 2.4 or 2.2?

btw dont dress up your car too much otherwise it looks cheap... mods come slowly, it just takes time

 

First thing you should lower your car,trust me it makes such a HUGE difference. I had a base, and I can see you have about the same wheel gap I had. Springs are cheap !!

 

2.2

Yea I dont want to over do it.

 

Def like what you did with yours. Even just that would be enough for me. Well I also plan on having black on black rims. Already went to a place to start on that.

Really looking for other stores and shops in the Jersey area that do not over charge. About how much did you pay to get it lowered?

This is my first car...im really learning about cars only now. Dont really know to much so any help from anyone would be great.

 

What he said! springs is a great place to start.

I can speak highly of the Eibach sportlines. Great ride.

Want to go not quite so aggressive and for cheap? buy someones Stock SS/SC spings. It will drop your car to SS/SC or at least and 1". Eibach Prokit will drop similar to the Stock SS/SC springs but also a little more in the rear.

 

Turbo, nitrous

 

Tint the windows, it will be make quite a difference in appearance. Tinted windows on a black car

 

yea dude it takes time, tint, lowering, rims, will def. improve the looks of the car but it takes time to make it wat you want.

 

i got my rims and tires from Rennen in long island. great company. We made the widebody kit from scratch, (audio xtc and body creations) i also have projectors, custom paint, and about a million other things done to the car. i went full show and go with the car. although completely custom as far as body work and interior i also put a lot of money into my engine.

there are a wealth of parts out there which we carry and trying to add new things all the time.

 

thanks so much for the suggestions everyone.

 

i just recently got tints on mine up in nanuet and it does make the cars apperance better

 

lower it, 17" rims, black painted headlights, intake, exhaust and wait for the hahn turbo!

 

Why would you say 17's? I also have a boring base cobalt so I am interested in this. I have tint, ss front bumper cover, exhaust tip. I was thinking 18's and lowered, why 17's?

 

Because the larger the rim...the more wheel spin you will create...and if you plan on seriously racing, you don't want rims any bigger than 17"...even thats pushing it. Also larger rims are generally heavier which will take more force to spin them...so in a sense you'll be faster with smaller rims.

Since I care more about looks, i'll be getting 18's someday .

 

but wait this thread is all over the place. What are you trying to accomplish with your car in general?
