C&C wanted and needed. What now?

 

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 would, but I'm 4 lug, he's 5 lug. I really like the GT wheels though.

 

You should but my SS/SC....no really though your car looks good. I like blacked out lights on silver.

 

nice ride!

 

Crusin I believe you may have seen it before...haha.

R&C I was ready to buy one or two of your tickets...

 

Nice ride! You have the same rims as my old car's summer wheels.. good ole Enkeis

 

bumpzors for comments.

 

front end looks kinda plain, i never liked the g5 grill much

maybe black out the headlights or throw on some projectors?

 

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

 

I like it, nice and clean. And damn that red GT is hawt.

 

Wow, these pics are over a year old. Car has changed just a little bit.

 

sweet ride man!

 

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

 

awesome man, good to know you kept the car clean, no steet glows or or giant fear this stickers. silver with blacked out tails looks gorgeous.

 

i disagree dont lose the mudflaps just add mudflaps to the back...
it would look pretty hot

 

I like it! its clean! did that spoiler cover the holes left by the oem spoiler or did you get them filled?

 

VERY nice!

 

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.

 

Do you ever get pulled over for ur light tint? Living in NC, I got pulled over 3 times for having my lights "blacked out"...I tinted them a lower tint now... nice ride!

 

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.

 

Looks good man
