You can go to photobucket or tinypic and upload them and when you post just click the insert image icon and insert the link. From looking at the sig though it looks good. Black is always nice

Haha

Ya I have been thinking about coilovers. It's hard taking that post seriously when a picture of a g5 pops up underneath it.

It's hard to take real criticism seriously? You asked for opinions, that's mine. What does me having a G5 have anything to do with it? I've put just as much work into my car as you have yours, if not more to make it look nice. It's not my fault you have no style or taste. Sheesh.

Ok

If you have put any work into your car then you should update your sig picture because to me that looks like a bone stock pontiac g5 probably sitting at about 200 hp if that. My rims aren't my favorite rims in the world but far from "ghey".

I think... You need new rims. It can sit as low as it wants, those wheels still look ugly imo.

Here is another pic. I would like to find some rims with a decent lip on them. Didn't have a whole lot of extra cash when I bought these.

Ideas

At least that's coming from an ss owner haha. Feel free to send me some ideas for new rims. I have a lot more disposable income right now than I did when I got those.

There is nothing wrong with a g5 with some good mods.

But you can make anything alright by dropping 10g's in it now can't you.

So u r going to buy new rims bcus CSS.net doesn't like them??? Tool...

Invest in some coilovers or lowering springs. Once u close the gap it will look 100X better. Not that it looks that bad right now anyways...

I actually wanted more expensive ones when I bought those, but really wanted to get the factories off. Got some deployment money now and looking to drop SOME of it into my car.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people on this site that are quick to judge other cars and start telling you how bad something looks just because it's not lowered. Personally I've had mine lowered and although it looks nice it ends up doing more damage then it's worth. I'm not here to say I'm better than anyone or put someone down because of whats on their car. I'm just sick of everyone bashing one another. If I remember correctly, these sites are supposed to be helpful, your supposed to meet people with similar interests and have fun. If you want to continue to act immature, by all means find another site with people who are just like you! For all of those people that choose to lower your car, it's your choice. Just keep in mind you have a greater risk of tearing up your front lip, ground effects, stock struts (earlier than if you left them alone), losing traction more often (weight transfer issues) and not to mention have your car ride like crap as a daily driver (depending on where you live).

Back to the topic though...I think you're SS looks pretty nice. I'm almost certain you won't feel let down with your new Hahn's intake. I have a Hahn's Racing header, downpipe and their 3" cat-back exhaust. After seeing the quality of work that they do and reading about all the other Cobalt owners that are happy with their products IMO almost all their parts are worth the money. Let us know what you think about the intake after you get it installed

OP has much to learn. Get used to people joking with you, not everyone is going to like what you do to your car and you need to accept that, and if you want to throw out the hp card against a G5 then trust me kid, your car doesn't have ****.

one - i think you wheels look ugly, but that doesnt matter cause i dont own an LNF right?

two - clearly you would know that no G5 thats "stock " makes 200HP, cause it seems to me you know it all.

what was it you didnt like about the stock wheels
