Very nice Chad!
Wheels, GM Accessories have some 16" 4 lug 10 spoke rims. Not great, but not awful. Aftermarket will be better option here.

Wax, hand wax, with Eagle NANO Wax. Easy on, easy off. Tons of shine. Or Meguires Gold Class wax. It WILL make a difference.
Tint is a good upgrade, even 35% all around, you probably wouldn't be bothered, especially seeing you live out in the country, and cops are few and far between.


Btw, get rid of the Dealer decal or whatever is above your "LS" badging there.

Haha, yeah. An hour or so from Edmonton depending on which way I go. I'd drop it, but I live out on a gravel road... and you know how snow works with a dropped car... kinda like a snowplow for about five feet.

Thanks! I hate those spidery ones GM has... ugly as hell. I'll look for one of the two waxes you recommended for sure next time I'm at Canadian Tire (probably tomorrow, I need a couple feet of wire and a couple crimps). I read in the paper they are upping the amount my area is patrolled, so that's a huge DAMN in my mind. I'll still tint them, I think. Rebel ftw. I'm going to get rid of the dealer sticker, but I work at the dealer. Dunno how that's gonna go over....

Here's 35% all around on my Caprice. It looks factory! I've been pulled over a few times, but nothing has been said.
And unless the Dealer wants to sponser your car? Knock them stickers off!

Haha. I'm going to need some new tires soon.. My fronts are looking pretty bare. I'll rotate them for now. 24 000 km on them, stock preformance 15"'s.

What springs did you get? Was it very hard to put them on? Where's the meet info? If it's the IKEA one, I can't come.. damn wedding on the 16th in Red Deer.

TheCaptain, that looks pretty sick! It's not even that tinted, just enough to get the edge off. Oh how I wish I could rebel myself into doing it.

Tint, at 35% is cake. If a cop makes you take it off, they are being a dick.
Here's what my Caprice looked like before the tint. Anyways, they can't nail you for having tint on the back windows.

Oh wow. There's hardly a difference if you didn't know it was there. How do you peel tint off? Can you see a line? Just in case.

Yea, tint is just like a sticker on your window. You'll see it at the very top when you roll your windows down. Comes off like a sticker, leaving glue and residue behind.

Oh, sweet. I've ordered my interior glow and I've got some stock black painted headlights on the way, so I've hit my limit on big things for the month. Maybe next month I'll do the tint, or new tires. One of the two.

Do you feel much difference in handling and when you go over manholes, etc? That's a big block for me, too. I've got a road sorta like that about 8km from my house.

Stiffer than the stock? Are the G5 stocks different than the Cobalt LS's stock? I wouldn't think so... but it is GM..

Oh the many mods I have to save up for...
