~285whp, 9.5psig boost. It's not a lot compared to the cars we have today, but it's plenty fast with the power that it has.

They aren't much out now, but I have had them out at local shows.

Yes, I feel the loss, one of the reasons why I have kept the other 2 cars. I'd rather keep them, knowing that of their loss in value.

That's great, and glad to see you're still into car modding.

Black Housing Projector Headlights

Finally got around to installing these this evening (waited 6 weeks to get them). Here are some night pics, will take some daytime shots when I get a chance. Also, I didn't change the bulbs yet, that will come in due time.







Pics of the lights themselves.

Very nice! I'm not much a fan of the SVT or SRT, but they are really clean and done well! Props for that!!
And you should be liking the new headlights, my brother just got the same ones in and they are great! The cutoff isn't that good, but tolerable... The quality on these Gen 2's makes up for it!

Thanks for your comments.

I'm impressed with these Eagle Eyes lights. I got them from one of our suppliers, and I have to remind others to be careful of the eBay headlights, because, I have seen many times, Eagel Eyes listed. That is not a mispelling, but is spelled in such a way that people look, don't notice and think they are buying the genuine product.

Hmm, I'm making arrangements to get my Kenwood NAV radio installed, so that would be the next mod.

Actually, I'd like to get a set of coilovers, via one of my suppliers. Just waiting for our company's account to be finalized with a particular coil over manufacturer.

I bought a new OEM 2.4l sedan rear bumper cover, bought the coupe rear lower lip, did the initial cuts and install of the lip, but the remainder of the modification is being done by a shop. The lip is too long at the sides and had to have small sections (3/8") removed to shorten the length and to allow the wheel well lines to line up.

If you were in my area, I could get you the parts at a decent price, and refer you to the same shop that is finishing off my bumper/lip.

I copied this (below) from my other post for reference.

Here's a couple of preview pics of the SS Coupe rear lip fit up. It's gonna look real good when it's done.

The sides have been had short sections cut out, then will be plastic welded back together.



In the following pic, it the lip doesn't look parallel with the car, it's because the driveway slopes and the right side of the car is slightly higher relative to the driveway as compared to the left side.

I perfer w/o myself.....But then again I also only like the SS/TC Sedans

Car would look better w/o the wing for my taste....Just doesnt fit the look of the car, the wing just seems out of proportion to the size of the trunk of the Sedans

I chose the wing, because the back end of the sedans look chopped off. Adding the wing lengthened the look of the back end, plus I like it.

I think the SRT-4 style would look better on the sedans because of its shortened rear end Or a lip spoiler type. I like the coupe low rise (sits higher then ours) but it as well just wouldnt work.

But oh well..those are minor things to me ...I'm sitting at over 300whp so I'm happy

Good suggestions, but too late to change on my car.

I'll be hitting the power mods soon enough, aiming for low 300's with the stock turbo or going bigger to be in the mid to high 300's. That will be plenty of power.

There is already an ongoing discussion (which I am also involved) at this link. https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/how-guide-43/install-rear-ss-lip-ls-bumper-132829/

For the sedans, to install it the way I want it, it's not a complete DIY project, reason why mine is being completed at a shop.

Oh yes, I totally agree.
