My car actually looks good!

I got new wheels and tires a few days ago, I'm pretty happy with how it looks. I have ssc springs, which I think gave the prefect drop with the stock wheels but now that I have lower profile tires I don't think there is QUITE enough drop. So Its time for some coil overs!

you guys hit on 2 of my next 3 planned things! vette antenna, ss/na bumpers and side skirts (I like them a little more than the ss/sc) and then I want to do bigger brakes up front and discs in the rear.

What does everyone think about removing the GM emblems on the fenders? I've already removed all the rear emblems aside from "cobalt."

Thanks for all the compliments!

White Cobalt sedan ftw..

I was looking at those exact wheels, I noticed thier very light wieght.. Keeep going on the change and good luck

Oh one more thing. correct me if I'm wrong but won't you have to change the entire front bumper to get the 2.4L bumber look? That could be pricey if thats the case.

those were just a few quick pics I took in my back yard with my cell phone. I'll get better ones on a nice day. I know there is a lot involved with the 2.4 body kit,front and rear bumpers and sides, and it won't be cheap but it should look good when its done. The wheels are 17's with 215/45 general tires,I dont remember what they are called. I wanted to go with 18's and 235's but I decided fuel economy and a comfortable ride were more important to me.

This really isn't a go fast car,so not much in the way of go fast mods. I do have the gmpp touring exhaust, im really glad I did that. I might do the gmpp intake and 2.4intake manifold someday but that isn't a big concern of mine. It handels great and is good on gas. It also looks pretty good, that's all I want out of it.

I have an 87 grand national for going fast... The cobalt could never keep up with it.
