i'm back with a whole new look
lowering > strut bar by a long shot.. especially since you're really into how your car looks. It will really set it off AND make it handle better. Can't say the same for a strut bar.
And the not scraping part is easy, go up at an angle. Or just scrape.. the wind deflector underneath can handle it trust me lol.
The blue logo on the wheel looks really good.. the rest... it's a little much IMO. I'd rather go with a black interior over the blue trim but hey that's just me talking there.

i will give you this, if i had to do a write up on your car it would look like this...
interior: without the steering wheel cover and shift knob, that took away probably 75% of the tackyness. overall, looks good, not my taste, but looks good.
engine bay: nice and clean. like the intake.
exterior: minus the gas cap, its decent. the badges arent bad, iv seen a LOT worse. looks pretty good.
overall: dont take offense im just being honest and giving you my opinion, which a lot of people dont do in person. everyone has their own taste. me personally, dont like any badges/emblems. they take your eye off of the car itself, and hides the nice paint. but if everyone had the same taste this would be a boring world. so if i could remove one thing from your car, it would definitely be the gascap. i wouldnt touch anything else, because thats your style/taste. so overall looks good(minus the gascap) good job

ok thx
yeah but what do i need better handling for besides flying around turns?
it's not the wind deflector that scrapes it's the actual bumper i can see the scratches if i look up close
LOL dude...

haha i think i rather have a strut bar. it makes the engine bay look a little nicer especially with some strut tower caps. and maybe a oil radiator and wiper cap to go along with it too. eventually.
and the stainless steel thing on top of the fuse box. yellowss06 has a nice set up with all the caps. -> http://a581.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...89ba62a3a4.jpg
/me thinks the same
I mean honestly.. if you're not going to fly around corners then why even bother with a strut bar? That's just wasting money isn't it? lol. And those "caps".. what good are they going to do? Add "bling" to your engine compartment? I'd go with a cat-back to go along with the intake or a tune or something.. but again it isn't my car so mod away!

did you really list "turtle wax" as a future mod? 
at any rate, don't let everyone get to you. who cares what other people think. if you like your car, that's all that matters. you're the one that drives it everyday, not some guy on a forum that you most likely will never meet. there's many members here, and you're going to get good opinions as well as bad.
but seriously, wax is not a mod

i don't do any type of racing so there's no reason for me to do any performance mods
well i didnt know what to put it under of course it's not a mod but it is something i plan to do and since it's about future things i plan on doing why not
yeeeesssssss blingggggggggg
ICEY HOT!!!!! 








(kidding of course) but having a nice looking engine bay makes it worth putting in car shows even if it don't have performance mods. i know someone who drove their bone stock car to a car show didn't enter just went to look at cars and ended up winning first place o.0

Overal its not as bad as some of the things Ive seen people do with Cobalt interiors . I would really ditch the diamond plate , and put the stock floor mats back in and swap the pedals for the the GMMP pedals . I also think it would look much better if the radio and HVACs were ebony instead of silver ...stuff would flow alot better then . Ultimately though , if u like it thats all that matters . If ya cant take some critisism , I would avoid posting pics ...because no one is shy to post their thoughts on the net
Check on ebay man thats where i'm buying mine at multiple color combo's to choose from. Something else you should get is a 3rd brake light cover.
