This is true I just hate the monster truck look

if i was willing to put more money into the car i'd get the rksport front valence and side skirts with the ss/tc rear bumper but i'm trying to not put more money into it other than maintenance. thanks on the wheels too! i just wish they were 17's instead of 15's but i had brand new tires at the time and just needed wheels asap to put them on. i think the style and color fit the car perfect thou

They're not impossible to slam, just more work than people who own Cobalts are willing to do. There's a few guys on here who are pretty low, two or three that are/have been pretty close to slammed if
not slammed. Cost wise it's cheaper than some other cars, other than Honda's cause they already sit so low it takes like a cheap ass set of coils and you're already scraping. Just takes some free time and a ton of testing before you get it right.

That's Mike Cosentinos old car, it was stupid low and I love it.

It's basically a mix between just not caring, careful planning, machining skills, and sprinkling unicorn blood on the car every night before I go to bed.
