I have a 09 Yellow cobalt and have not done anything to it yet. All stock. So Does anyone have any ideas how to make it look sick? anything you would have done to yours? Im a girl. Therefore i dont know much about performance but im down for some mods on the exterior and interior.

you can tint your windows. Coupe or sedan by the way? So tinting, you can fog your taillights if you want, you can either crack your headlights and paint them black or go a few steps farther and do a retrofit. Rims tires. A ground effects body kit. If you are going for yellow and black tinting everything, lowering it, with new rims, and black out your bowties.

Tint Tail Lights, LED in the Reverse lights, LED Map Lights, Re-Paint your center console and there's a lot other cheap and easy mods you can do. :)

I think Cobalt123 has done it but not sure (about the dash).

It just depends on which state you live in. I don't know the exact traffic code to where it says it's illegal but I'm pretty sure if a cop wanted too, he can write you a ticket for it. I always say, it's up to the cops discretion to whether or not he thinks it's illegal or not.

I've got pulled over 4 times and out of those 4 times 1 cop has told me about my lights. But he didn't even say it was illegal or not, he just said that he didn't know if I would get my car pass the inspection next time or not for being dark. lol

EDIT: For the painting of the dash, I found these instructions on what materials you would need:

1.) Rustoleum (or other) Plastic Primer.
2.) DupliColor Cherry Red (or other color) Enamel. **Please see below.
3.) DupliColor Clear Enamel. **Please see below.
4.) DupliColor Prep Wipes (or mild soap and water or tack cloth).
5.) 300-400 grit sand paper.
6.) 600-800 grit sand paper.

i would get 18s you will want them later. if you can black with a yellow lip. the halos on the 2nd gens are plug and play the others require a little more wiring but are not hard
