What Have You Done To Your Cobalt Today?

It is, but my worry is that you need to orient it properly and cure it properly to have it worthy of a car body. I'd make fenders no problem because they are meant to crush. But I wouldn't want to be in an accident in that. Carbon shatters, it doesn't bend like metal. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid and the body would be fine. I still don't want to make one
I haven't posted in this thread in a while. Since I last have, which has to be last summer, I've gotten a lot done to my 05' LSJ. Mostly cosmetic, but have more power coming this summer.
So since the last time I have posted I have:
-Timing chain done at 110k
-New wheels with summer tires
-touchscreen radio
-3 gauge pillar
-painted calipers
-cold air intake
-hahn turbo muffler from an LNF (sounds like a catback system haha)
-Armrest and trim from a G5 GT
Currently how it sits:

I installed my 60lbs siemens deka injectors just now and tuned them. They still need a little adjustment but hey, they work great. Even idles like stock.

Got tired of looking at the front license plate frame so I drilled the rivets out and removed it. Looks alot cleaner imo but I'll have to get the holes fixed. Oh well I can live with it for now.
LNF grill should be here tuesday. The whole front end is gonna be alot cleaner now.

quick Question. Is it possible to pull the engine and tranny out the top together? Not having a lift would make dropping the subframe pretty tricky.
I want to start planning for my clutch job.

Not so bad steveo. A lot easier than it looks. Replacing clutch, water pump, and fixing some leaks.
Also I don't think engine and tranny will come out the top

Just dropped a ton of cash for a small overhaul -
factory struts/shocks, Moog cabs, factory end links, sway bar bushings/shells, OTTP springs, new shift cables etc etc etc...
It hurts the wallet

Light spring cleaning of the interior. Cleaned seats/windows and trim. Vaccum carpet. I stalled recaros and removed the rear seat belts because nobody ever sits in the back.
Deer with matrix skills
A deer hit me today.
There were people on the right side of the road.
I was going 40 mph I moved to the left side of the road to be courteous.
I glanced over to them.
When I looked back up seven deer ran across the street.
on the brakes, deer 1,2,3,4, the 5th one seems its going to take out my fender or front bumper.
The deer jumps grazes my left fender, kicks my hood leaves a scratch.
Then grazes my right fender with its hoof.
The body of the deer was literally at windshield height, and the deer was qualified in the art's of the matrix.
The deer jumped and did a crazy roll, barley touched my car and landed on the other side on its feet. Then just looked back like not **** happened.
Im incredibly lucky, it could have being much worse.
Lucky the deer was a black belt martial artist of some sorts
Really need to get a dash cam. Last couple days have seen some crazy ****..
Heres some damage pictures.
Double dent, scratched clear coat.
Scratched hood kick
Deer hoof mark right side
Overall very lucky
