not a bad deal considering the flaws

 

It was NOT recovered theft. The guy I bought this car from has his own shop in which he buys DAMAGED Cobalts and sometimes G5s and fixes them up. The G5 trunk is currently damaged, so he is trying to find another G5 off the auction so he can give me the trunk and use the rest for parts. The airbag just came in because it had to go through customs and all that since it was bought from Canada. Thats why I just got it. Chevy rims idc about since I just bought new ones. But no, all the Chevy parts on the car were/are temporary.

 

Some new mods I did today. Just added a shorty antenna from Ark performance, painted the door control things, and added a Xenon decal. I just bought brand new Nitto tires yesterday, so Im getting those installed with my 18' SS/SC wheels tomorrow.

 

Got my SS wheels wrapped in 225/40/18 Nitto tires. I think it looks great.







Hmm, I think the rear might need a little lowering.

 

The FE1 suspension sits rather high. My G5 rode like a small truck.

You can use the 2008+ FE5 shocks/struts and Pedders fine in a G5.

 

Looks like a nice car! Time for lowering springs! And center caps!

 

Yeah I gotta find and order some still.

 

how much did you pay for the rims and how much did they cost?

 

Lol you asked the same question twice I one sentence.but they were brand new and 480 shipped.

 

nice work man. get some springs for her and she'll be good to go. also try looking for a lip kit and it'll give it a nice slick look

 

what spoiler is that?

 

wow that is a sedan spoiler i think...

also im in the same place you are with my LT cobalt i need to lower the back but i dont know what spring to get, i dont want a huge drop... also the SS springs are 1" lower then the LT ones right so i may just find some of those here and put them on the rear and leave stock in the front so the car rides more level

 

Yeah Im gonna get a GT bumper soon with an aluminum upper and lower billet grille. Next spring is when Im gonna be getting the GT side skirts and the RK rear valance. And yes it is a sedan spoiler, but its temporary.

On the side note, lil update. G5 club decals came in.

 

looks good man. just drop it and itll be looking oh so nice.

 

Yes sir, but not till spring time.

I got a list of to dos:
Aluminum upper grille
Aluminum lower grille
GT Bumper
GT side skirts
RK Sport rear valance
RK sport ram hood
Headlights/hids
Center caps
Mirror covers
Dual exhaust
Intake
Paint the calipers.

 

yo factor, havent been on here a while. now that i've seen your car on here, wanted to let ya know, if you remember a gray GT takin off on ya on 95th street a while, that was yours truly. was checkin out the whole cobalt trunk thing and seeing if it was a pontiac or cobalt. looks interesting. not bad tho. if my center caps disappear, i'll come lookin for your ass lol.

 

Haha I got some now anyway. But yeah trunk should be coming in a couple of days. By the way, I seen you around that area plenty of times.
