admit it, you would do it if your car wasnt black to begin with!

i really dont think i would, i would get it vinyled if i wanted it done that bad

07cobaltLScoupe

same with me, i've been wingless from the beginning and i wouldn't want it any other way!!! holy hell our car are almost twins... i'm just a little slower, a little higher, and have the base front bumper yet

but here's a rear shot, since i took this pic i have removed the chevy emblem so the trunk is fully clean of emblems.

when it gets nice out again i'm going to plasti-dip (YES I DID SAY PLASTI-DIP bahahaha) the bottom contour of the bumper like 1Low has his for that little more aggressive look and how it is in this photo- chopped version of my whip yo

1LowLS

then u must be dealing with crap vinyl to say that.....plastidip is for a quick change in look not permeant ...imo

1LowLS

Plasti dip is permanent until you peel it off

07cobaltLScoupe

yes i love looking at your rear! haha and i wish i did that chop, someone on here did it for me a while ago that chop looks sexy as hell with the GXP wheels too thou, if they weren't 5 lug and mad expensive i'd consider making my car look just like that chop! it's looking more and more that my car is gonna be my DD if i get this new job too so i may not be doing too much more to it... idk we'll see thou

1LowLS

mines my DD and look at it and I cut its fuel economy in half lmao.Drop it with some nice wheels.

07cobaltLScoupe

well between a new hood, retros, K&N, the only other thing i'm considering to get is coils. but then again if i get this new job i'll get compensated 0.51 cents/mile over 15 miles each way (30 miles total to and from) so in the long run keeping her as my DD and getting at least 35 mpg's i'll be making money off that deal i want to make her look good but then again i don't want to put that money into her if she'll be driving to and from and sitting on construction sites everyday (i'm in 2 days of training right now to be a construction inspector with a fairly big PA consulting firm)

1LowLS

Well if there is a possibility it might get beat up or your gonna be on rough terrain then I probably would still slam it with nice wheels.I'll be 28 in May but I'm still a big kid at heart and I do stupid things lol.I just cant wait to get correct sized tires on mine to see how the stance is.Should be tucking when all said and done.I wanna get CF hood and decklid too but are stupid expensive

all the vinyl i've dealt with may look fine in pictures, but if your super picky like i am plastidip is much more uniform in texture and isnt as prone to scuff marks or fine scratches nearly as bad as vinyl is.. technically plastidip is just as "permanent" as vinyl cuz if you wanted it permanent in the first place you would paint it

just my experiences with the two though.

07cobaltLScoupe

haha yea i feel ya, i'll be 23 in july and i'm still a kid at heart too, and surprising 23 is actually kinda old on this site anymore compared to most . but i gotta say i love how my sport edition's go with the look of my car too (in my sig pic), sometimes i just wish i had them in 17's instead of 15's thou but oh well. over the summer i run 205/60/15 goodyear eagle gt's on them and with coils and 5mm spacers i think it would look perfect, all i need is about another 2" drop and i'll be sitting close to even... so i'd need like a 3.5" drop total

1LowLS

If you slam the **** out of it,the 15's wont look too bad IMO/I like the style of them.My total drop is 3.5 front and 3 in the rear.My rears sagged ALOT so the ass was WAY lower than the front so I pulled the fronts out and chopped off 3 coils.Now I got my stance how I want it and I just put KYB GR-2's up front and Fe5's in the rear(struts/shocks).Now its as low as I want it and it hugs the road really well and rides firm but nice.Now I just need a rear sway bar.

07cobaltLScoupe

yea you're on cut ksports in the front arent you? my ride right now is fairly nice, can be rough at times but it handles really well with just eibach pros, ottp rack spacers, and moog endlinks on stock struts/shocks with 32000 miles but i just figure if i need to replace shocks/struts i'd either go FE5 or koni so why not just save up a bit more and get coilovers and be able to slam it too... hell i could order a set right now with my tax return but i want to finish my home theater first

sergiochaotik

I just turned 20 a few weeks ago; feels weird to no longer be a ''teen'' but I guess I'm still a ''kid'' at heart too


by the way, 1lowls; after actually reading your sig for the first time, where did you even find 105 octane? I got a ''high end'' Petro Canada near my house where all the ferrari's and r8's and GTR's fill up and it's highest rated gas is 94 octane running it at about 1,60$/L (compared to regular which is about 1,30$/L) (one gallon = 4 liters)

1LowLS

It's a additive I put in the tank made by Torco.If added to 91 octane,it makes it 105.Torco makes there 110 octane out of the same stuff.We also have a gas station right outside our track that sales 100 and 110 at the pump.

07cobaltLScoupe

i just put regular 87 in the cobalt, may step up to 89 every once in a while thou to clean it out and run better but my dad only puts Ultra 94 in the corvette, it costs a little more but it runs better on the higher octane.

1LowLS

my car requires atleast 91 octane.Im looking at your chop of your car and the rear evo mod goes to the plate pocket.Im kinda diggin it

07cobaltLScoupe

yea it definitely looks different going up that high but being that i'm not low enough idk how it would look, maybe you should try it out first so we can see how it looks haha

holy **** man rims/drop/rear evo mod FTW!!!!!

im doing the rear evo mod this weekend! how do you guys measure yours? certain distance for the corner on each side?

07cobaltLScoupe

yea if i could actually get my car to look like that it would be sick!!! what i plan on doing is to mask off the edge of the contour that's on the bottom of the bumper and just plasti-dip the part that rolls underneath

1LowLS

Exactly^^^And I actually am gonna re do the rear evo mod to go up to the license plate pocket.I like how it looks.I was debating it before but your pic does it justice.Ill post pix once I get it done

1LowLS

For Jay,Look you can see how it's just painted and not cut.
