My little LT :D

[mklein]

So, I'm getting a kind of late start on the forums, but I'm gonna dun it nowz dernit. Bought this brand new last year. It's a 5 speed manual '09 Cobalt LT. I love the little 2.2 Ecotec. A lot faster than my stupid old S10. After talking to my cousin, who builds tuners in Jacksonville, I've been thinking about messing around with mine. Only problem is, I'm not sure where to start, let alone whether to start cosmetic or engine-wise. Any help?

i say cosmetics

and nice LT man, reminds me of mine.. except i didnt have hub caps

 

[bbrewbaker]

+1 on cosmetics. I recommend the 5 spoke 16 inch wheels. because that makes a big difference in the appearance.

Also looks like mine. But also don't have hub caps.

17" r better 4 the soul

Haha thanks guys. I've already decided on getting Smoke Halo style headlights and Smoke taillights. Definitely need rims, but I'm not sure on the 16 or 17's, and I want to lower it, but not sure if I want to go 2" or less.

I want to get 18" rims, problem I'm having is mine has a 4 lug pattern and al the rims I like are 5 lug.
We painted my hub caps and I love the way they look, so i have to find something I can make look similar.I have also found the black halo headlights and Smoke LED taillights, just waiting for the funds to come in the mail to order them.
I also started with the air intake and exhaust. Then added Nitrous. Bought headers, but havent gotten them on yet.

Forgot to mention, K& N filter, that was an awsome change from the stock filter, really opened up the air flow.

Try Tirerack.com or Wheelsnext.com.

check your state laws ... some states you cant have smoked headlights or taillight . hate to see you spend the money and get screwed by the man

Welcome. Stock sometimes is better

only if your an SS

 

[bbrewbaker]

I like my stock 16s.

 

[Spacey_stacey75]

only if your an SS

What does being an SS have to do with anything?

I was running 45 hundreths of a second slower than an SS, and that was without my NOS. I have a 2.2 LS automatic.

ss has better rims . 5 lug tho

What mods do you have?

 

[mklein]

That's ignorant. You can get the SS rims from the dealership when you buy the normal cobalts. And it still costs less than the SS. You can actually most, if not all, of the extras the SS has on a LT.

 

[Spacey_stacey75]

What mods do you have?

Only thing I had then was my exhaust and my intake with the K&N filter.

 

[mklein]

I have you all beat now Me and my buddy decided to take my old hubcaps off and put the shiny plastic walmart hubs on. Lol funniest thing I've ever seen. And no one has noticed or said a word besides the few friends that see me everyday.

Sometimes hubcaps look alright, as long as you didn't do the spinner caps, those are stupid. My hup caps are painted to match the car.
