everything looks perfect dont listen to the haters, yes CF does look cool but I know exactly what type of paint job you have in mind and that will look 100% better just amek sure its perfect paint match... and make sure the pattern you leave isnt too crazy

oh yeah, my coworker has a non-SS cobalt the same color as yours and was wondering if you painted your lower grills. if so, what paint did you use. thanks. she loves your headlights as well. she had chrome rims on hers and a billet antenna. she needs a drop bad too. :p

the base models come with a one piece bumper that is all one color, the two side grilles are not real.
The ls models have a different front bumper with the three removable lower grilles, even without the foglights. I noticed this when my aunt bought her base model.

this is after the springs, its not much lower at all really, but it handles great i love the new feel, i can feel that the back end sits a little lower too, its easier to tell in person that its a bit lower, if you want a more aggresive stance go with the sportlines, i needed to keep the good ride though, which the pro kit has, the ride is great, little bit stiffer but im still able to drive normally....so im happy, wish it was a little lower but oh well gotta make some sacrifices

you kidding right? the springs are on? how much do the springs say they drop? i have prokit on my dc5 and they drop it 1.4" all around. glad you like them but not much of a difference in looks between the pro kit and stock springs.

it said 1.6 all around i think, if youve seen my car stock its ridiculous....
you can see how high the front sat before, like demonss said, it really evens out the balance of the car, no more leaning forward stance

Beautiful car man, you have the nicest non-SS Cobalt on this site by far 
I thought it looked awesome when you got the new wheels and tinted the headlights, but the CF hood just sets everything off
Keep up the great work

i'm sure it will drop it more once the springs set in. mine dropped more after like a week of normal driving. not to the extent of sagging though. eibach makes great sagless springs.

sportlines i think are 2.0 all around, im not positive though, i just needed to keep a good ride, so i chose pro kit, plus i can still add a lip kit and not be too low still, i might do that still not sure yet
