I noticed they didn't show up in the message but assumed an approval process. I'm just using the "insert pic" button in the thread generator. The pics show up fine in my garage.

Any suggestions?

They might not call it that anymore but I'm pretty sure that's whats on the receipt. It's just the standard Injen intake for the Cobalt SS.

I can check the receipt later if you're still curious.

Isn't Photobucket an outside image hosting site?

If I can use an outside image hosting site than I would use my own site or flickr.

I was going by the rules listed on how to create a thread for submission here:

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/feat...thread-311524/

In section 2 the second rule down is:

- All images posted should be hosted in our gallery to assure all members and visitors can see them. (If they can't see your car, how can they vote for you?)

If I can use other sites let me know.

Also I'm using Insert Image button from within the thread generator. When used it creates this:

[GMI]https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/members/bmac-70274/albums/garage-bmacbolt-7742/bmacbolt-|-2006-cobalt-ss-stage-2-18217/[/GMI]

I reversed the letters IMG in the above url so the syntax shows and not the link that would be created otherwise.

Then I copy the link and post it into the thread.

Figured it out!

I realized there was no file extension in the url I was copying and pasting from the browser location bar.

When I either open the image location or copy the "Picture URL" given below the photo in my garage it shows the proper .jpg file extension.

Ha, thanks!

I considered it a few months ago but the options seemed overly priced for what will likely cause more trouble than benefit. I decided to let the next owner make that choice.

Plus I can drop this thing to the ground for $0 in Photoshop

I need something more functional for what I do. Likely a truck. Not quite as exciting but I would rather sell it than beat it up.

I dont think it's low that it needs. The black skirts make it look like it's sitting higher than it really is. I couldnt figure out what was off about everything till I noticed that.

Other than that, the car looks great, and the pictures are awesome!

Thanks!

Though I tend to agree more with jonathan923. I think it's more about the space between the tires an wheel wells than the black skirts. I've seen several other cars with all black skirts and they look fine. But those cars typically come from the manufacturer with little wheel gap.
