nobody2u's Daily Driven 2008 SS/TC

Hey guys, I've been on here and had my car for over three and a half years, so I thought it was about time to finally show you what my Cobalt looks like a little more. Anyways, here's some pictures that I took with my iPhone 4S along with my modest mod list. I have a real photographer set to do some real pictures with my car but I felt like sharing a few of my car that I took over the course of the summer! She's daily driven with 88,5xx KMs (55,9xx) miles. All of what I did to this car had to be within reason as I'm in University right now (about to graduate) and my budget was far from limitless.

Stock Options:
XM Radio
G85 Package
Sunroof
High Rise Spoiler
Black on black seats

Performance:
3" ZZP Catless Downpipe
3" MPx Catback Exhaust
K&N Short Ram Intake
14/23 PSI Switchable (via Traction button) Trifecta Tune

Suspension and Wheels:
H&R Sport Springs
Powell Raceparts XXX Rear Sway Bar
Moog Sway Bar Links
Enkei M52 (18x8) in Matte Black
Pirelli P-Zero Tires (225/40/18)

Appearance:
GMPP Aluminium Pedals
Window Tint (35% front, 18% rear)
Painted Brake Calipers (Gold)
Morimoto Retrofit Headlights (/w 5K HIDs)
Nokya Hyper Yellow H11 Foglight Bulbs
MPx Shorty Antenna

As for my future plans? That remains to be seen. I have no intention of selling this car in the foreseeable future, I love it to death and I have a sentimental attachment to it. It never goes wrong through rain or snow. The only thing I may do to it is put it on coilovers- but if it is to remain my daily driver I will probably refrain from that. I'm hoping to add another car to the family next summer- budget depending of course but the aim is to import a JDM tuner car.

Again, sorry about picture quality- they are phone pictures!

Thanks for taking a look and cheers!

Oh and for anybody who is wondering, in a couple of pictures next to my car that's my friend's JDM 1992 Toyota MR2 Turbo. It has about 95,000 KMs on it.

How do you like the yellow foglights, and where did you get them? I want to get yellow ones but I don't want them to become entirely for looks and not use.

Well cause are fogs are awkward shape its be awkward to put yellow tint over but I'm sure people have done it. I'm not sure if there is a "nightshade" yellow spray. I did the bulbs yellow myself too

Could get a 35w HID kit in 3000k bulbs for them, that'd be bright as hell.

I find hid at 3000k aren't are "deep yellow" as the h11 normal yellow bulbs are... I think its because they are so bright it makes them appear less yellow. And more white tinge to them

Probably so, but he didn't want to loose functionality. A 35w HID @ 3000k would serve perfectly, I'm hoping to get a set eventually. Probably will once I get tired of buying halogen bulbs. Plus good luck going under 3000k with HID, I can't say that I've seen anywhere reputable sell anything less.

Honestly I'm glad that I didn't get an HID kit for the foglights, a waste of money from my standpoint. The yellow halogen bulbs are plenty bright enough and I didn't really want to take away from the HID lowbeams. I got the bulbs from Modern Performance since I was ordering my exhaust from there. They were on backorder though and took forever to ship. You can buy them from plenty of different places though.

I have the nokya yellow fog lights and I like them a lot. And they were only 18 bucks off of amazon, so for the price the quality is great
