So i've seen a hundred of these and decided to create my own. I know most members here are more geared to performance modification than visual, but i'm building a show car and the flashy is what wins. Sooooo that being said here we go...

I first bought it in February of 07 because i needed a daily driver, while i worked on my s10

so i found this...

As you can see, the first thing i did was tint it and add the rain guards (come on...i lived in Seattle).

Next came the dual exhaust. Single-in/dual out with Raptor resonators. Right after i got the exhaust, my then-gf (now wife) and I were taking a ride and Voodoo by Godsmack came on the Ipod. We just looked at each other and grinned. The tone of the exhaust matched the tone of song and the cobalt earned her name - "Voodoo."

After that was miscellaneous little things like CF mirrors, CF front bow tie and a wing swap for a high-rise. I also added the DC strut bar, progress rear sway and the injen intake. Oh...and the zex wet nitrous kit. Remember, this is supposed to be a daily driver.

At this point in time, much to my dismay I had to sell the s10 and transfer to Charleston, SC. When i got to Charleston, I literally fell into two deals. Powdercoated SS rims and a CF trunk which helped her look a little sexier.

I knew I had to get rid of the 4x4 when my wife pointed at my car and "wheel gap FTMFL.." So I ordered and installed Eibach sportlines. As a closet minitrucker, I'm ashamed to admit it took me that long to lower it.

Next I got a crazy idea to "flip" my trunk. It looks great, unfortunately it severely altered the fitment of the trunk.

After the trunk I got the ait r1 cf hood and bought a set of painted stockers.

Next was some interior work. I got a triple guage pod with autometer a/f, nitrous pressure, and voltmeter guages (although i initially started with a trans temp guage). I also installed blue neons, in the floorboards and center console.

Finally it was time to take the exterior to the next level and get rid of the stock bumpers. While i was at it, i added the lambos (yeah yeah yeah i know).

I got bored one week and decided to try my hand at Niteshaded eyelids. They didnt turn out so well..so I got Gen III projectors with 8000K HIDs

This past christmas my wife got me a new cf trunk. When i installed it, i decided that wingless was much sexier, so i kept it that way and added stickarz (for at least 110 whp).
attachment.php


So thats where she sits now. I know there are things i've forgotten but my picture folder ended up corrupt and i lost most of the pictures. The future for Voodoo will hold an addition of a supercharger and quite a few other goodies....i'll keep you posted (not that you care)
