The paint job is amazing. I am not a fan of the wheels, but that is just me. Nice work!

Leafy is our current featured car, and he is from Alberta Canada by the way.

almost unanimous, invest in some wheels that fit the car. Chrome? NOT a good choice for a sportscar! Chrome belongs on a Denali or some over priced SUV that some guy owns who is just justifying his paycheck by spending it on something that "looks" expensive. They just don't appeal to an SS. SICK car otherwise! Great look, took some ***** to chance a paint job like that and it totally worked! Love the trunk too! Can't see much inside but it's very custom...sharp!

Nicely done. I really like the 2 tone paint job. Personally, I am not a fan of the chrome on the rims. Maybe black w/polished lip? They also look to big IMO. Do you have any plans for performance mods as well or are you going strictly for show?

Again, Congrats on a sweet Cobalt, and good luck for feature ride!

Also: In the 2nd pic, is it just the lighting or my eyes, but did the car not have the silver pin stripe?

It`s not your eyes.I didn`t put the stripe on untill after that show(the JCO bash).It is temporary until the pinstripe gets painted on.
The wheels are not crome.They are polished and have a 2" lip(kind of cool for a fwd)
I will be doing the go part last.Still buggin GM about the stage 2 sponsorship.
I have a few things I want to shave first.....................(oh my,that sounded dirty!)

Sorry Leafy,that was my bad........

Thanks man. There are only a handful of us including me that think the wing should go back on. They were working on making me a C/F version of the O/E wing but didn`t get it completed. I`m getting used to the wingless look.It will flow better w/ some of the shaving I want to do.

IMO I cant stand the spoiler. It looks oK but it seems out of place back there. I tried to get my head around the RK sport three piece but it does not look right either (cavalier look)

I think I found what I am looking for and deciding on what it will look like and will it fit. Of course I want to be the first so we shall see how it turns out.

later

The stripe definately completes the look. Again, nice job! Very tastefully done. Was the car originally blue or black? When you add the "go fast goodies" do you plan on taking it to the track? If so, I imagine you will ditch the 20's? The air ride will probably help some in being able to adjust the suspension for a little better launch. Good luck and keep us updated!!
