Looking good, not a huge fan personally of the completely blacked out rear lights, but other wise I think it looks good. Way to rep the 2.2s!

looks good... looking at the first few pics looks like you need to swap wheels with the sport red g5 and see what the stock g5 wheels look like on your ride, Im sure your bud wont mind

just my opinion...

keep up the good work bro!

i believe the XFE's have a slightly different ECU tune, so you are not completely away from being more Fuel Efficient :P

Very nice ride man. I like the spoiler and the graphic on the hood, but you have to lose the mud flaps.

I believe the XFE's had longer gearing in the transmissions as well.

It looks like the rk sport spoiler which I had on my old cobalt. It looks like their trunk is the same, or very very similar, so I guess he had to fill them. I filled my trunk's holes with bondo and sanded then got it painted. Had to drill my own holes for the lip spoiler as the bolt holes don't match up at all. I never actually putting the two side pieces on before I sold it, the main pieces drill holes were enough of a pain to get perfectly centered and make the spoiler flat all the way. Kinda regret it, that spoiler looks great on his, but no shop would install it because they didn't have "directions" :/ .

The spoiler covers two of the four holes left by the stocker. The other two have rubber things in them, like the ones that hold your trunk mat on. They're just painted silver, and now sharpied over like the hood.

Never a problem. I did them once, but used way too much, and was pulled over twice. Redid them, and now theyre just as black, but light passes through them like stock. There's a point where they don't get any darker, and if you stop putting it on at that point, the light still passes through them perfectly. Wet sanding and polishing help a ton too, because when they have orange peel the light is dispersed unevenly, leaving them looking dimmer.


The first pictures are really old, like, a year or so. The picture a couple posts up is about 6 months old, so the car is a little different. If anybody wants current pictures I'll post them.
